Applications for events
The Sunshine Coast has many outdoor venues where you can hold an event.
If you wish to hold an event in a park, on a beach or road, you may need a permit from Council.
If you are planning an event on the Sunshine Coast please contact council before completing the application form. This applies to both new and recurring events. Council staff will check if the location is available.
Events on Council land
You must complete the application in full and submit it to Council at least six weeks before the event.
For major events, you should make the application at least six months before the event.
Applications may need to be lodged earlier for larger scale, high impact events.
You should submit your application before advertising your event.
