The processes and standards for event management are defined by State Government legislation being the Health (Public Building) Regulations 1992. The Department of Health WA has developed guidelines to assist organisers with interpretation of the Regulations, these are called Guidelines for concerts, events and organised gatherings (Department of Health WA Dec 2009).
The purpose of these guidelines is to assist event organisers:
- minimise negative impacts on nearby residents and landowners;
- minimise the health and safety risks to patrons of the event; and
- comply with the relevant legislation.
The role of Shire of Carnamah as the enforcement agency for public events is to:
- determine if the event location is suitable;
- ensure all reasonable and practicable precautions are taken by the organiser/promoter to protect the health and safety of patrons and the amenity of surrounding residents.
