Council has adopted a guide to support the community to stage events including how to plan, manage and deliver them on the Northern Beaches.
Northern Beaches Mayor Michael Regan said events are the lifeblood of our community, bringing people together.
"There is no doubt events bring people together, connect our community and provide a sense of civic pride. They also are a great way to boost our local economy.
"We have hundreds of amazing locations and venues to choose from across the beaches to stage everything from markets to fun runs, concerts to food festivals and everything in between.
"The Guide to Events on the Northern Beaches will support third party operators along with community groups, providing an outline to deliver safe and successful events that not only meet their objectives, but also those of the Northern Beaches Event Strategy 2018-2023.
"The Guide includes key areas such as planning for an event, making an application, what factors organisers should consider along with providing template documents, quick tips and useful contacts.
"We all can't wait to get some form of normality back to our lives and events can play a key role in bringing people together post COVID, whilst also supporting our local businesses who have suffered so much through lock down," Mayor Regan said.
The 35-page Guide also includes information about the types of permits and approvals that may be required when staging an event at a Council venue or one of our many open spaces.
Council will also be exploring whether more events could be exempt from needing development consent as part of the preparation of the new Northern Beaches LEP.
