Experience the vibrant community spirit of the City of Melville by hosting or attending public events designed to engage and bring people together. Whether it's a festival, market, sporting event, or cultural celebration, the City supports a variety of activities that enrich local life.
Planning an event in Melville involves a clear application process to ensure safety, compliance, and community enjoyment. Expect to coordinate with City officers, secure necessary permits, and possibly collaborate with other agencies. Events range from community festivals and markets to sporting carnivals and triathlons.
- Submit an Events Application at least three months before your event.
- Discuss your event details and location with the City’s Customer Relations Team.
- Obtain a reservation number and submit your application online.
- Receive conditional approval and an invoice before final permit issuance.
- Ensure all relevant approvals are obtained, including from other agencies if needed.
Events can be held on City of Melville land, including parks and reserves, or on private land such as yacht clubs and churches. The City offers many reserves and facilities suitable for various event types. Contact the City to discuss location options and access requirements.
Organisers are responsible for health and safety compliance for attendees and residents. Events on private land require Public Health Approval. Outdoor sporting events involving public streets or reserves need specific approvals, including from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions if involving the Swan River. Advertising your event before conditional approval is not recommended.
Fees and charges may apply depending on the event type and location. After conditional approval, you will receive an invoice for the use of the space. Event permits are not transferable and must be used as approved. For more information, contact the City’s Bookings Officer.
