| The municipality has developed a reputation for hosting events of local and state significance.
The definition of an event includes any planned activity where any structure (permanent or temporary), open area, roadway, fenced or unfenced will contain a number of persons greater than that normally found in that area or location at one time. This activity may affect the location or surrounding area prior to, during or after the event.
This event-planning guide was developed by a committee consisting of Victorian Authorities and Emergency Services, to assist all those people and organisations that become involved in the management of major events. The guide is modelled on “Australian Emergency Manuals Series, Part III, Volume 2, Manual 2, Safe and Healthy Mass Gatherings” and “A Planning Guide for Event Managers, Alcohol, Safety and Event Management”, Queensland Government, Queensland Liquor Licensing Division, Queensland Police, Queensland Department of Tourism, Sport and Racing.
Events can provide a wide range of social, economic and cultural benefits to the community. Management of a safe and successful event requires detailed planning and consultation.
The Victorian Government is concerned that substantial improvements are made to the planning and running of major events so that the well being of patrons is protected. This planning guide will help event managers and event organising committees ensure that events are safe and enjoyable for all participants.
Mansfield Shire Council will advise you after phase one if an event management plan is not required.
