For event organisers

Planning for people who make things happen

Festivals are complex sites with complex rules. Dan knows how to navigate temporary use permits, noise and waste management plans, and the specific quirks of Victorian event planning — so your event can actually run.

WHAT'S INVOLVED

Getting an event site compliant, without the back-and-forth

Event sites carry their own layer of planning rules — separate from, and often more time-pressured than, standard permit work. Temporary structures, crowd numbers, noise limits, waste and traffic management all need sign-off before a single ticket is sold.

Dan works directly with organisers to map that pathway early, so approvals land with enough runway to actually plan the event around them — not the other way around.

What Dan handles

Temporary use permits
The core approval for running an event on a site not zoned for it — scoped and lodged with council well ahead of your date.
Noise & waste management plans
The documentation councils and agencies actually ask for — written so it holds up, not just so it's filed.
Site planning & compliance
Layout, access and safety considerations worked through up front, so the event runs on schedule and stays compliant on the day.
Why it's different from a standard permit

One clear head across the whole site

Event planning usually touches several agencies at once — council, emergency services, sometimes state authorities. As a sole trader, Dan is the one person coordinating all of it, so nothing falls through the gaps between departments.
