Step 1: Event risk quiz

 

Event risk is the possibility that an unforeseen circumstance may affect your event

A risk rating is an estimation of how likely this is to happen.

Complete our simple Event Risk Matrix Quiz at the link below to receive a risk rating. 

The quiz will give your event a rating of low risk, medium risk, or high risk, depending on:

  • What kind of event it is
  • Expected participant numbers and demographic
  • What sorts of activities there are
  • The kind of venue
  • The distance from the nearest hospital.

If your event is medium or high risk, we will ask for more detailed planning around potential risks in your event application. Your risk rating will also determine how much time you need to allow for submitting your application, as follows:

Low Risk - Please submit your application at least four weeks prior to the event

Medium risk - Please submit your application at least eight weeks prior to the event

High risk - Please submit your application at least 12 weeks prior to the event

Step 2: Prepare your application

Fill out the relevant applications and permits via the downloadable forms below. They can be edited in PDF, or printed.

Please make sure to fill out all relevant sections and gather any extra documentation requested before you submit.

  • If you are using paper forms, mail the package to 102 Uduc Rd Harvey WA 6220, or deliver it in person to either the Harvey or Australind admin office.

We recommend starting with the Event Application. Depending on our needs for the event, you may also need to fill out some extra forms. For example, if you need to hire shire property as part of your event, the Event Application will direct you to complete Application for hire of local government property.

Step 4: Hold your event

If approved, go ahead and hold your event!
