If you are organising an event within the Shire of Ravensthorpe, you will need to complete an event approval application form if you answer yes to any of the following questions:
- Is your event open to the public?

Why you need event approval
The Shire of Ravensthorpe is required by legislation to ensure events comply with basic requirements to ensure public safety.
The Shire also aims to ensure that the community is well informed about events to maximise positive outcomes and minimise negative impact.
How do I get approval for an event?
There are many Shire of Ravensthorpe departments involved in the approval process, it takes time for each team to respond to your application.
The Shire requires your application at least 30 days prior to your event to allow sufficient time for the approval process to be completed.
Please see below the appropriate process to follow:
- Event organiser reads the event planning guidelines and determines whether event approval is required.
- At least 30 days before the event, the event organiser completes the events application for and submits it to the Shire of Ravensthorpe.
- The Shire of Ravensthorpe assesses the application and provides feedback. The Shire may request more information from the event organiser, this process may take several weeks.
