There is something always happening in the Shoalhaven. The Shoalhaven provides a wonderful backdrop for a multitude of events and is a very popular area with organisers. The Shoalhaven stages over 1000 events in the City each year.
Council recognises the importance and significance that events have within the local community. Council encourages events that will provide social and economic benefit for the community and have a positive impact on the city.
Areas of event sustainability that should be considered include:
• waste minimisation and recovery
• reducing energy and water consumption
• green transport
• venue selection
• reducing print material
• purchasing and procurement
• carbon management
For information and guidance on how you can improve the sustainability of your event go to Community Events Information Kit (PDF 1MB).
Council’s Events Policy (PDF 622kb) gives you a step by step guide to gaining approval to hold your event on Council owner or managed land.
Council has a dedicated Events Team to help event organisers streamline and simplify the process of organising events within the Shoalhaven.
