Event Management Plans

Yes, most councils require an EMP, particularly for events on public land, with large crowds, road closures, or high-risk activities. The Victorian Guidelines for Planning Safe Public Events, WorkSafe Victoria requirements, and local council event policies mandate EMPs for safety and compliance.

An EMP should cover event details, risk assessments, emergency response plans, traffic management, security plans, site maps, public liability insurance, and required permits (Victoria Police, council approvals, etc.).

Most councils require applications at least 6-12 weeks in advance, but major events (e.g., road closures, fireworks, large-scale gatherings) may require up to 6 months' notice (as per Victoria Police and council regulations).

If your event involves road closures, large crowds, alcohol, or security risks, Victoria Police require a notification at least 12 weeks in advance. Security planning, emergency response, and risk management documentation must be included.

WorkSafe Victoria mandates that events comply with OHS laws and have a structured Risk Management Plan (RMP)covering hazards such as weather conditions, crowd control, fire risks, manual handling, electrical safety, and first aid provisions.

Most councils require Public Liability Insurance (PLI) of $10-20 million, covering all event activities, staff, contractors, and stakeholders.

Crowd safety measures include barriers, controlled entry/exit points, trained security personnel, emergency medical services, and evacuation planning. A Crowd Management Plan should be prepared in line with Victoria Police and local council guidelines.

Yes, if your event impacts road use or pedestrian traffic, a TMP must be developed and approved by VicRoads, local council, and Victoria Police. This applies to parades, sporting events, and any road closures.
