Due to the amount of organisation and level of risk generated by holding events on public land, it is a requirement of Frankston City Council for all event organisers to complete a Recreation - Minor Event Application Form to minimise this risk and to ensure events are well planned and well run.

Recreation Minor Event Applications must be submitted three months ahead of the proposed event to ensure plenty of time to organise any permit requirements, bond and fee payments (if applicable), insurance cover, and that risk management plans are in place and all documentation is completed and submitted correctly prior to the event. 

A Recreation - Minor Event consists of up to 499 spectators or participants utilising Council facilities such as halls, foreshore, reserves and parks.  For events where spectator and participant numbers exceed 500, refer your inquiry to Council's Marketing Services Department on 9768 1789, or alternatively, visit the Council's Community Events page for more information.
