This section provides information in relation to the requirements and permit application process for conducting a public event:

Section 49AB of the Police Offences Act 1935 requires that a person must not organise or conduct an event such as a march, rally, or demonstration (political or otherwise) without a permit if it is to be held wholly or partly on a public street.

A written application seeking a Police Permit to Conduct a Public Event such as a march, rally, procession or demonstration (political or otherwise) should be forwarded to the Commander of the nearest District Police Headquarters in which the event is being held.

Public Event Application:

Please ensure you are using the correct form for your event type. If you are unsure which form applies to your event, please use the combined application form below.

For further details, please see the Guidelines below:

If you are unsure about any part of the permit application process or require assistance, please contact the nearest District Police Headquarters where the event will be conducted.

Depending on the event, a twelve-week lead time is strongly recommended. At a minimum, an eight-week lead time is required to ensure your permit is processed in a timely manner. Please contact the relevant office or district if your event falls outside of this time frame.
