PLEASE NOTE: During the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Council will consider event applications in line with current restrictions and orders set by NSW Health. If your event does not meet NSW Health requirements and/or does not have an exemption at the time of assessment, a permit will not be provided. We will only issue an event permit when activities are considered permissible and a robust COVID Safe Plan is provided. For current information about what's allowed for events and gatherings, please visit the NSW Health website.
