Organising an activity/event - public space permits

Delivering events

The Moreton Bay Region has many scenic locations open to the public for event hosting.

Council regulates these events to make sure they are carried out safely and are considerate of other residents and visitors. Depending on the type of event you are holding, the impact on public land and who will be attending, you may need a permit. On this page, you can find out more about which permit you will need for your event.

• The location of an event is key to determining if a permit is required
• Every address in the region is zoned and the zone determines what activities can take place at that location
• Some locations in the region allow for activities to take place without a permit due to the activity being approved as part of a Development Application
• There is no easy yes or no as to whether a permit is required
• Council has a dedicated Public Space Permits Team who can assist you through the permitting process. The team can advise on what paperwork and supporting documentation is required
• Council encourages you contact the Public Space Permits Team as soon as you know where you want to organise an activity (minimum 30 days prior to your activity to allow for processing)

To find out if you need a permit please contact Council’s Public Space Permits Team for advice. Call: 07 3205 0555 | Email: [email protected].
