Temporary/Outdoor Event Permit

In Sydney or other areas of NSW you must apply for a permit to hold a temporary out door event in our parks, streets and open spaces. Some examples of temporary events include festivals, street parades, charitable collections, sporting or team events, commercial activities and product sampling that engages the public.

Most temporary outdoor events running for up to 30 days do not need further planning approval. This includes events that use structures such as marquees, stages, signs and operational infrastructure.

Some temporary events can run for 52 days without needing further planning approval. Depending on the scale and type of event, you may need to provide more information. Our event guidelines set out your responsibilities as an event organiser and the information you may need to provide for certain events.

Small gatherings

You don’t need to apply to hold picnics or small gatherings as long as you don’t bring large items such as private marquees or jumping castles. You can’t book public barbecues. No private barbecues, small fires or naked flames are allowed in our parks and open spaces. No vehicles are allowed in parks and open spaces without approval from your local council.
