Welcome to the Shire of Exmouth, we are fortunate to experience an average of 320 days of sunshine, making this a perfect location for your next event. We encourage a diverse range of events and aim to bring your vision to life.

Under the Health (Public Building) Regulations 1992, outdoor events are considered public buildings. The definition of a public building (events) is a gathering of people brought together for a common purpose by some prearrangements whether they are events of a temporary nature or events that occur regularly and whether indoor or outdoor. Therefore a public building can range from a circus tent, pub, festival or open-air market.

In order to assist you with the process, the Shire has developed an information and application pack.

Some of the requirements covered within the pack are:

  • Amenities relevant to the expected attendance;
  • Accessible events (for both the event grounds in general and toilet facilities);
  • Risk and emergency management;
  • Fees, charges and venue hire
