Sustainable events

In order to manage significant outdoor public events in a way in which the benefits to the people of Mosman are maximised whilst potential negative impacts are minimised, Mosman Council has developed a special events policy and operations manual:

All events of over 50 people must abide by the Sustainable Event Management Policy and complete the Sustainable Event Management Plan.

Sustainable products and suppliers

Mosman Council has made it easier for event organisers to meet the required sustainability criteria. We have done the background research on preferred suppliers and here you will find a list of preferred suppliers for a variety of products and services that you may need for your sustainable event, market stall, and for food vendors.

Special Events

A Special Event is an organised gathering on public open space within the Mosman Local Government Area (LGA), or in an area outside Mosman but directly affecting the Mosman LGA (e.g. major events on Sydney Harbour), and where the number of participants and attendees is likely to involve at least 250 people and/or involves elements as covered in the Special Event Management - Policy Statement & Operations Manual (PDF 423KB).

Forms

A number of application forms are available in conjunction with the event management policies:

Food stalls

Food stall holders are required to operate in accordance with the Food Act, 1989 and associated Regulations. Council has information on the requirements that must be met by the operators of any food stall. Council’s Environmental Health Officer inspects food stalls on the days of operation to ensure compliance with Council guidelines, and the relevant legislation.
