Holding Your Event
COVIDSafe Events in Baw Baw
Events can operate without registration or approval from the Victorian government under the COVIDSafe Settings. Event organisers should refer to these settings for requirements and always keep up to date.
Events on Council Land
If you would like to hold an event on Council owned or managed land or at its facilities, you will need to submit an event application to Council at least two months before the event. Events are not permitted to be staged on Council land without Council's written approval.
Depending on the event or its location, you may also need other permits from Council, such as an Occupancy Permit for a Place of Public Entertainment or a Planning Permit.
To obtain the event application form and any other necessary documents required for your event, go to the Related Information section at the bottom of this page.
For more information and advice about other necessary documents required for your event, email the Events Team or call 5624 2411.
Use of Council Roads for Events
If your event involves using roads, please visit the Traffic Management page for requirements and to download the necessary forms, which will be required in addition to an Event Application.
Events on Private or Crown Land
If your event is held on private or Crown land, you do not need to submit an event application to Council. However, you may need other permits from Council, such as an Occupancy Permit for a Place of Public Entertainment or a Planning Permit.
If your event will be held on Crown land you may also need to seek permission from the land owner, e.g. the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) or Parks Victoria.
To obtain the event application form and any other necessary documents required for your event, go to the Related Informaiton section at the bottom of this page.
