If your event has any of these, you are likely to need Council approval. Still unsure? contact our Events Team and they will be able to answer this question for your specific event.

Will there be other events being held on the same day as my event?

Campbelltown City Council prides itself on providing as many events as possible to the community, however as part of this we ensure that we do not approve any event that clashes with any previously approved events including council run events. This will assist with maximising your attendance numbers.
