Any time there is a group of people together there is an inherent increase in risk. Horowhenua District Council requires you to complete an Event Notification Form if you're planning on hosting a public event.
We can assist you with planning for any increased hazards that may arise with your event and help you with any licencing requirements. It also gives us the opportunity to pass on any useful tips we've gained through our experience.
Depending on the type of event, Council needs to receive the completed form at least four weeks before the event; or 8-12 weeks for events involving a request for a road closure. For more information view our Event Application Process Guide page.
