The importance of planning

Experience has shown that the management of a successful event requires a detailed planning and consultation process. This guide has been designed to guide event managers through the planning process. Information and forms can be downloaded and printed for use by relevant parties involved in the managing of the event. This may include:

Community Organisations
Local Councils
Managing committee
Parents
Police
Security

This site focuses on issues which can improve the quality and safety of public events. These include:

identification and involvement of key stakeholders
planning processes
management of alcohol
promotion and media strategies
entertainment considerations
entry and exit plans
security systems
medical care
crowd control

Although a comprehensive event planning process cannot guarantee a problem-free event, it enhances an event manager's ability to effectively respond to any problems that may occur.

This guide provides essential information and a checklist to cover the basic requirements for staging a successful event.
