Organising a Small Event

There are a large number of public events that take place throughout the year. Many wonderful events are organised by businesses, committed groups and volunteers who put in often huge amounts of time and energy to arrange them and open the to the public.

The scope of events can be very large, from an afternoon preschool fund raiser, a firework display, a vintage transport display, to a very complex event such as the Exmouth Kite festival with two days of public displays, music, retail sales, on-site accommodation and food vendors.

We have worked with the regional Health and Safety Sub Groups to provide a Guide to the health and safety issues (285KB - 05 December 2011 - PDF Help) that event organisers should consider when planning an event. We are very happy to offer advice and assistance, especially at the early stages of planning, if you would like to contact the Environmental Health Commercial team.
