Event Application Kit

Mount Alexander Shire welcomes community events, festivals, exhibitions, fairs and musical concerts.
We have designed a “one-stop shop” Event Guide and Application Kit for everything public event-related.
This document guides event organisers through relevant permits and approvals and how to access marketing and logistical support from Council. It also provides organisers with helpful information on running safe, successful and sustainable events. Download your copy of the Event Guide and Application Kit. When preparing for an event, please ensure you have submitted Part 3: the Event Form at least ten weeks prior to the event, to allow for processing time.

The following links will take you to resources that may further assist with the planning of your event:
Accessible Events Guide
CFA Guidelines for Conducting Small Events and Gatherings in High Fire Risk Locations
A Guide to Developing a Bushfire Emergency Plan in Victoria

Mount Alexander Shire is keen to assist event organisers with promoting their community events in our online event calendar at www.maldoncastlemaine.com.au.

To list your event, simply download the event listing application form and return to Claire Baker by email to c.baker@mountalexander.vic.gov.au.

Many townships across Mount Alexander Shire have their own community events notice board to promote events within the town.

Currently event boards are located at Taradale, Harcourt, Guildford, Campbells Creek, Castlemaine, Barkers Creek, Chewton, Newstead and several in Maldon.

Please complete the event board application form to apply to have your event listed on township event notice boards.

Once completed, please return to Council via email.
