Outdoor corporate events permit

If you are organising a corporate event such as a Christmas or end of year party in any of City of Port Phillip’s public open spaces you will require an event permit. Permits ensure public safety and amenity in public spaces and assist in the sustainable management of our parks and foreshore.

Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation in Victoria, Council will be following the directions from the Victorian and Australian Governments and Health Department.

All eased restrictions and the proposed dates are subject to the advice of Victoria's Chief Health Officer and the continued and effective management of the spread of COVID-19.

Please visit COVID-19 Council events, services and facilities updates for more information and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) website for the latest advice on Victoria's restriction levels and daily updates on COVID-19.
