In Campbelltown, we thrive on community festivals and events and know they are a vital part of creating a vibrant and liveable city. Events are a great way to activate our spaces, discover our amazing culture, showcase our city’s natural beauty and promote Campbelltown as a place that is welcoming, entertaining and exciting.

If you’re an event organiser wishing to conduct any event within the City of Campbelltown on Council owned/managed land, you must submit an application under Section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993 where such an event is not otherwise authorised under a Development Consent.

Step One - Read our online information

Carefully read through all of the information on this website and for all of the venue locations you are considering for your event. Ensure you have an ample understanding of everything you need to provide. Keep in mind that if required items or documentation is missing upon submitting your application, it could result in delays and the possibility of your event date needing to change due to insufficient time for the Events Team to complete their side of the process.

Step Two - Talk to our Events Team

We strongly advise that you speak with the Campbelltown City Council Events Team before starting your application. They will talk you through what is required including the required documentation and will have the ability to answer any questions you may have. This will ultimately result in your application process running smoother. 

Please be aware that the application form and relevant documentation is required to be submitted 8-12 weeks prior to your proposed event date. Missing information could result in delays and the possibility of your event date needing to change due to insufficient time for the events team to complete their side of the process.

Step Three - Understand what is required from you

Familiarise yourself with the Section 68 application prior to attempting to fill it out as taking the time to gain a good understanding of the application will make it easier for you when you are ready to complete it.

Consider if your event requires a Development Application (DA). Not all events require a DA however it Is always a good idea to check this with a member from the Events Team.

Ensure you are aware of the application timeline. At Campbelltown City Council we require your completed application form and relevant documentation to be submitted a minimum of 8 - 12 weeks prior to your event date.

Step Four - Prepare all of the required documentation

All event applications must include the following attachments:

  • Event Plan (Event Overview)
  • Bump in and Bump out Schedule
  • Site Plan/Map
  • Neighbouring Notification Plan
  • Risk Management Plan
  • Waste Management Plan
  • Public Liability Insurance Certificate of Currency for a minimum of $20 million, noting Campbelltown City Council as an interested party
  • Security Management Plan
  • Traffic Management Plan (If required)
  • Noise Management Plan

  • Mobile Food Vendor Form (If having mobile food vendors)

Depending on the nature of your event, there may be additional plans you should include.

Please see our Event Plan Templates for more information and templates for each required plan.

Ensure you provide as much information as possible when filling out the forms as any missing information could result in delays and the possibility of your event date needing to change due to insufficient time for the events team to complete their side of the process.
