Guide to planning an event or festival in Moreland
Council has a community resource guide (RTF 1Mb) to festivals and events in Moreland. This resource is for people who plan community festivals or events in the area.
The guide covers issues you need to consider such as insurance, funding and sponsorship, legal issues, budgeting, road closures, parking and permits.
If you would like to hold a festival or event in Moreland you may need an event permit. To find out which type of permit your event will require please see the application form to hold an event or festival in Moreland.
What the fees cover
Permit fees cover the costs associated with the preparation of the site for groups to host events. This includes the cleaning and stocking of toilets, preparation of the grounds, including marking irrigation systems and other associated costs. Fees are as follows:
Community event - $155
A community event permit is required for an event or festival that is being run in the Moreland municipality by a not for profit organisation who can provide proof of not-for-profit status such as a Certificate of Incorporation. There is no limit on the size of the event or number of attendees.
Private event - $310
A private event permit is required for an event or festival that is being run in the Moreland municipality by an individual, commercial operator, business, wedding operators (including individuals planning a wedding) or any other organisation that does not have not-for-profit status. There is no limit to the size of the event or number of attendees.
Non permit event
There are circumstances when an event does not require a permit. Please see page 2 of the community event guide for more information or contact the Cultural Events Officer at Moreland City Council. If your event does not require a permit we do ask that you register your event with the Cultural Events Officer to avoid conflicting with other events or site maintenance.
