WHY

Why are you holding an event? (E.g. To raise money for charity? To create a sense of community? To celebrate a special occasion?)

WHaTWhat type of event do you want to hold?

What approvals will you need to run your event?

What plans will you need to prepare in order to gain approvals from regulatory authorities and effectively manage your event?

What resources will you need to run a well managed event (e.g. staffing, venue, sponsorship, equipment, insurance, publicity etc)?

What will the event cost to stage? What is your budget? Do you have an event finance plan?

Do you need an ABN or be registered for GST?

What are the risks that may affect your event?

Do you have a marketing plan?

Do you need Public Liability Insurance?

WHErEWhere will your event be held? Will there be any costs associated with hiring the venue or using a public space? How will rain affect the event?

Does your event require a development application through Council or is it covered under the current approved blanket development applications?

WHoWho do you want to come to your event? Your event might target a particular demographic such as young people, seniors, families or school children. It may be an event for a particular geographic area such as a suburb or a local government area. Perhaps you want your event to appeal to a particular interest group such as train enthusiasts, gardeners, lovers of jazz etc?

HoWHow will you reach those people and tell them about your event? Do you have the resources to publicise your event to the right target audience?

How will you gain access to the resources you need?

How will you stage your event?

WHEN

When do you want to hold your event?

Are other events being staged at the time you propose to hold your event? Other events can affect the level of media interest in your event, the availability of transport, accommodation and other support services, and the ease of travel to your event. For information about future events, contact the Wagga Wagga Visitor Information Centre on 1300 100 122 or go to visitwagga.com

Is there an existing event with which you could partner?

rISK MaNaGEMENTRisk is anything that can impact on an event’s success that you planned. A Risk Management Plan is an essential aspect of planning any event. Managing risk will help to make it safe for all concerned and ensure you enjoy success.

Risk management should not be a daunting process; it is merely a process to establish all the factors that may have a negative impact on your event. It is about making better, fully informed decisions. Some factors that may have a negative impact on your event, but are not limited to include:

• Weather • First Aid

• Volunteer safety • Traffic safety

• Entertainment • Pedestrian safety

• Program • Guest safety

• Competing event • Stall holders

• Security • Set-up and Pull-down

• Alcohol • Amusement Rides

• Fireworks • Electrical equipment

The duty of care to residents, organisers, workers, performers, contractors and all of those present at your event is the responsibility of the organisers and must be addressed at all times.

HoW To aSSESS rISKIt is important that all key stakeholders involved with the event are involved in identifying risk areas.

A Risk Assessment should be made of the site of the event and the proposed activities to identify any possible issues or incidents that may occur.

After assessing the site, a Risk Management Plan (see template on page 34 in the Appendix) can then be developed and used to assist organisers with the planning and management of the event, to minimise risk and maximise safety and enjoyment.

A Risk Management Plan cannot remain static.

Risks can change according to changes in the law, development of safe practices and techniques and developing technology. Constant evaluation and updating must be done to take account of trends and the organisation’s own experiences.

INSUraNcEEvery event must have appropriate Public Liability Insurance to ensure that individuals are financially protected and there is protection against loss should an incident occur. Public Liability Insurance is a critical part of responsible management of an event and is an important part of managing risk.

In order to ascertain the appropriate insurance required, a risk management analysis must be undertaken by the event committee to review the potential risks to the event and then an assessment made of whether appropriate insurance is available to cover that risk.

Depending on the number of volunteers involved with the event, it may be desirable to purchase a personal accident and insurance policy that covers all recorded volunteers for the period of the event. It is recommended that you seek professional advice from an Insurance Broker.

If Council infrastructure is to be utilised during the event, Council will insist on its ‘rights and liabilities’ being covered by the organiser’s Liability Policy.

If your event is being held on Council land, Council requires a minimum of $20 million Public Liability Insurance as a condition of approval.

One off event Public Liability Insurance can be obtained via various Insurance Brokers such as Local Community Insurance - localcommunityinsurance.com.au

GUIDE No.4risk managementThe information included in this section is of a general nature and should be treated as such. When dealing with important issues such as risk management and insurance you should always consult a professional regarding your particular case.

Page 11: Wagga Wagga Events Guide

waggaevents.com.au/event-guide 9

EMErGENcYIf running a large event, an Emergency Response Plan (ERP), also known as an Emergency Management Plan, is required which outlines how you will respond to an emergency at your event. It should be developed in consultation with police, fire brigade, ambulance and other relevant emergency services. Even if your event is not too large, it is a good idea to let emergency services know in advance details of the event.

WorKpLacE HEaLTH aND SaFETYYou have a duty of care to provide a safe environment in which staff, volunteers, performers and contractors can work. Depending on the nature of your event, you may have certain legal responsibilities in relation to workplace health and safety (WHS). Event organisers should remember WHS issues can result in a personal criminal prosecution being brought against them as individuals. You should contact WorkCover to discuss your responsibilities in relation to the workplace health and safety issues relevant to your particular event.

Some examples of the things to consider might include:

• Water • Sunscreen • Trolleys for carrying heavy goods • Taping down of electrical cords

FIrST aIDThe provision of first aid facilities is essential and critical to any event. They must be appropriately equipped and easy to find by patrons. The number of first aid posts required depends on the size of the event. As an example, for up to 2,000 patrons you will require one first aid post and six first aiders.

St Johns First Aid NSW provides first aid services at events for a donation. For more information on their services and to book them for your next event, visit their website stjohnnsw.com.au/event-information/

VoLUNTEErSRemember that volunteers are an investment – if you look after them correctly they will come back for the next event. Remember to provide plenty of food and drink and acknowledge them where possible.

SEcUrITYTo assist with crowd control, you may need to employ some professionals. It is recommended you employ one security guard per 100 patrons. For security company listings consult the Yellow Pages.

FIrEWorKSFireworks are a popular attraction for events; however they are high risk and therefore need to be managed professionally by a trained technician. Permission for fireworks is required from Council and the landowner. Events using fireworks will require a Fireworks Licence issued by NSW WorkCover and will need to comply with all the conditions set out in the licence.

For further information visit workcover.nsw.gov.au or contact the WorkCover Assistance Service on 131 050.

GUIDE No.7development applications for eventsThe holding of an event may require the lodgement of a development application to Council.

Generally, if an event is to be held on land that is not normally used for the same purpose as the event an application will be required to enable a temporary use of the land. Examples of events that require a development application include:

• markets that are held on land that is otherwise used as a car park or a recreation area

• music events within parks

• car displays held in car parks or recreational areas

Applicants should ensure that their applications are lodged with plenty of time to enable an assessment to occur and condition requirements to be met prior to the event being held. As a minimum, applications should be lodged three months prior to the date of the event.

If the event is to be held on land that is owned by Wagga Wagga City Council, the consent of Council will be required in writing and the development application signed by the appropriate Council Officer. Otherwise you need the consent of owners.

A booking is required for the use of Council land such as the Music Bowl at the Botanic Gardens, Bolton Park, Lake Albert/Apex Park, Victory Memorial Gardens, Wollundry Lagoon etc. The booking to use Council land is a separate process to the development application. Both the booking terms and development application will impose conditions to ensure that Council’s assets are not damaged and that the impact of the event being held is minimised.

Council has prepared a checklist which outlines the required plans and documents that need to be lodged with a development application for an event. This can be found on page 46 in the Appendix of this document.

bLaNKET DEVELopMENT appLIcaTIoNSWagga Wagga City Council does have approved blanket Development Applications in place for various types of events to be held at Lake Albert (including Apex Park), Bolton Park, Victory Memorial Gardens, Wollundry Lagoon, Playhouse Car Park, and the Wagga Beach.

If you are wanting to hold an event at one of these locations you are required to submit the following documentation to the Events Unit to determine if your event meets the criteria of the current approved development applications:

- Event Plan for Blanket DA (page 49 in Appendix)

- Risk Assessment (page 34 in Appendix)

- Site Plan

- Emergency Evacuation Plan (included in Event Plan)

- Copy of Certificate of Currency for Public Liability Insurance

It is recommended that you contact Council’s Events Unit prior to submitting this information to request a copy of the Event Management Plan for the specific location. This document will assist you in providing the above information.

If your event does meet the criteria of the blanket development application you will be required to adhere to the conditions of the development application and it’s associated Event Management Plan.

If your event does not meet the criteria of the blanket development application you will need to go through the process of submitting a development application for your event.

Page 16: Wagga Wagga Events Guide

waggaevents.com.au/event-guide14

GUIDE No.7development applications for events templateWhen compiling your documentation listed in the Entertainment Venue / Events checklist (page 46 of Appendix) you will need to consider the following information to provide in the Statement of Environmental Effects. This will help ensure that the requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 are met and will allow Council to assess the application against the relevant considerations.

The level of detail provided in the Statement of Environmental Effects should be consistent with the size and scale of the event along with the likely impacts of the event.

Task Completed

Notify the local Police (Ph: 02 6922 2599) and Wagga Wagga City Council or the venue, depending on whom the consent authority is for the land where you propose to stage your event.Obtain a license from the Licensing Court of NSW (Ph: 02 9995 0333 or olgr.nsw.gov.au)

GUIDE No.9volunteersVolunteers can provide invaluable assistance in the coordination and running of an event.

The Centre for Volunteering can assist member organisations with recruitment of volunteers through the Volunteer Referral Service. For more details visit volunteering.com.au and follow the links “Become a Member “and then “Volunteer Referral Service”.

Another good way to find volunteers for events is to approach your local service clubs such as Lions, Rotary and Apex, as well as educational and training institutions that offer event courses.

You need to be aware of your rights and responsibilities in relation to volunteers. These include:

INSUraNcEProfessional advice should be sought about the type of insurance you will require to cover volunteer activity (also see Guide 4 – Risk Management page 9). You should also check to ensure that any existing insurance policies cover volunteers. Some you might consider are:

- volunteers/workers personal accident

- public liability

- motor vehicle

- professional indemnity liability

WorK HEaLTH aND SaFETYVolunteers are entitled to the same safe conditions that are provided to paid employees.

approprIaTE orIENTaTIoN aND TraINING This is to ensure volunteers are able to do their assigned job effectively. Volunteers serving alcohol at a licensed event must be trained in the responsible service of alcohol.

rEFErENcE, poLIcE or oTHEr cHEcKS Depending on the role assigned to a volunteer (such as working with children - see below) it may be necessary to carry out checks. If checks are relevant, volunteers should always be advised and their permission sought.

For more detailed information about the rights and responsibilities of organisations and volunteers go to volunteering.com.au or call the Centre for Volunteering on (02) 9261 3600.

cHILD proTEcTIoNThere are various aspects of events that involve working with children. There are some things that employers and self employed people must do by law to help keep children safe. The NSW Commission for Children and Young People is an independent organisation working with others to make NSW a better place for children and young people.

For more information regarding child protection and events visit kids.nsw.gov.au or call (02) 9286 7276.

GUIDE No.10sponsorship and grantsSponsorship of community events and festivals has benefits for the City, as well as organisations and businesses in the local area.

HoW To SEcUrE SpoNSorSYou have to ask! A sponsorship proposal is the most comprehensive and professional approach to seeking sponsorship involvement from business. A sponsorship proposal should clearly:

• Highlight the various aspects of the event;

• List the benefits for the business of being associated with the event;

• List what you want and why (for example printing of programs to promote the event widely to the community);

• Indicate how much support (financial or in-kind) you are seeking;

• Indicate if there are various levels of sponsorship available (for example Partner, Major, Supporter);

• Present the proposal as an attractive proposition for any potential sponsor (typed and either stapled or bound);

• Try not to make the proposal too long or the person reading it could lose interest; and

• Email or post the proposal, but ensure it is followed up with a telephone call within a week of sending if you have not had a reply.

The most successful sponsorship proposals clearly link the event with the sponsor through identifying common goals. Remember it is usually easier to gain product or in-kind sponsorship than cash, so look at your event carefully and see where savings can be made through this kind of sponsorship.

MaINTaINING SpoNSorS• Keep sponsors informed at all times, particularly of any changes to agreed arrangements (or unforeseen circumstances that affect your event/activity).

• Take care of your sponsors – attend to all their requirements as soon as they are identified – small details are important.

• Be creative, flexible and innovative in sponsorship ideas and sponsor benefits.

• Be aware of developments in the business world and possible ‘opponents’ in seeking sponsorship.

• Remember, post-event reports and “Thank you” to sponsors are essential.

GUIDE No.11ways to promote your eventEffective promotion can result in high attendance at your event as well as give it an impressive and lasting profile. There are many ways to promote your event, some examples are listed below.

• What’s On Guide and Visit Wagga Website – Wagga Wagga City Council’s Visitor Information Centre maintains an annual database and online calendar of events. A monthly “What’s On” brochure is produced and distributed via print and email to a large database, including the media. To list your event go to visitwagga.com or call the Visitor Information Centre on 1300 100 122. Once listed with the Visitor Information Centre, your event may then be promoted on the VisitWagga and WaggaEvents Facebook pages.

• Welcome to Wagga Signs and Banners – Contact the Wagga Wagga City Council Bookings Officer or refer to Guide 3 - Parks and Facilities for further details on locations. Bookings for signage sites can be made by phoning 1300 292 442 or email [email protected]

• Websites – A great promotional tool for your event. Use your own website as well as Wagga Wagga City Council – wagga.nsw.gov.au. When listing on the Wagga Wagga City Council website this automatically lists your event on the Visit Wagga website. Search the internet for any other special interest websites that might fit your type of event.

• Social Media - One of the most effective ways to promote your event. Consider Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn or Pinterest but just remember you need to be relevant and not all platforms will be needed for your event.

• Posters, Flyers and letter box drops – A great way to target large numbers of people across the City. Consider walking along the main street with your posters and flyers and asking retailers and businesses to display them in their shop windows/displays (it’s a good idea to take sticky tape and blu tack with you). Also consider delivering to schools, shopping centres, gyms and other facilities that attract a wide range of people. You can organise to have your event flyer delivered through Australia Post or private distributors to households and

businesses across the City, or if you have some keen volunteers, they can walk around and hand deliver these themselves (just be mindful of mail boxes that request no junk mail).

• Events Unit – A source of knowledge for your event. Contact them on [email protected] or phone 1300 292 442 to discuss how they can help with aspects of your event.

• Media Releases – A great way to get media coverage and encourage people to take part in your event. Local media contacts are listed in this guide. Also see our guide on “How to Write a Media Release” – page 24.

• Publicity Stunt – Good planning is vital. This can be an effective promotional tool, although beware that they can also backfire. They can be professionally organised or set up by amateurs.

• Group Emails – An effective tool to market your event to a wide range of people. Maybe start a database of email addresses from committee members or list your events in Club e-newsletters. Please note – “Spamming” is illegal so please make sure you don’t breach privacy laws.

• Community Service Announcements – Local radio and television stations offer community groups the opportunity to advertise for free using this service. Community service announcements are also called community diaries. ABC Riverina has a spot on their website where community groups can add details of events and projects.

• Community and School Newsletters – Many communities and almost all schools have newsletters. It is important to note these newsletters may be distributed monthly, fortnightly or weekly, so be aware of their schedule.

• Word of Mouth – Still one if the most powerful marketing tools, because it comes with a reliable, credible endorsement. Use meetings to publicise the group and encourage members to spread the word to their family and friends.

GUIDE No.11how to write a media releaseYou do not need to be a trained reporter to write a decent media release if you follow a few basic guidelines.

Format: A media release should be typed, either one and half spaces or double spaced, on plain white A4 paper or letterhead. If you must handwrite the release, print clearly and be particularly careful with names.

Identification: Include your event/committee/group logo at the top of the release.

Date: Media releases should always be dated. News needs to be current.

Release Information: Always include a line that says “For Immediate Release”. It is standard practice to tell the media that this material can be used right now. If you do not want the information released immediately, make sure you clearly state this as “Embargoed” until a certain date or time.

Headline: The main purpose of a headline on a media release is to quickly tell an editor what it is about. It should be short yet informative. If the story is used, the publication will do its own headline.

Length: Try to keep it all on one page, although two pages may be needed for all the information on a major story.

Style: The most important points of a media release should be in the first sentence...the famed “Who”, “What”, “When” and “Where”. In a sense the first sentence, or “lead”, should be the “bottom line”. Everything after that is an explanation, amplification or attributable quotes.

Paragraphs: Each paragraph should contain only one sentence. Do not break a paragraph at the bottom of a page if your release is more than a page in length.

Other Media Release Style Tips: Add the word “more” on the bottom of a page if the release continues to another page. Generally this is typed flush right. Page numbers and a one or two word reference to the story should appear at the top of each page after the first page for easy recognition by the editor if the pages become separated.

Names Make News: The big secret of all news media is that “names make news”. The more names a paper or magazine can print, the better the readership. The most read items in local business news coverage are announcements of who got promoted, who joined the firm, who won an award, who attended a conference or training seminar etc.

Photos are a sure shot for more coverage: Most print media companies are happy to receive submitted photos – obviously they need to be of a standard which provides for quality reproduction. The key to getting good photographs is to be up close – small figures in the distance will not do. Make sure you identify all persons in the image – so make sure you get names (and where they are positioned in the photo) correct.

Further Information: Ensure you include contact details of the member of your event/committee/group who will be the contact representative. This information should appear at the end of the release.

Using a Professional: Sometimes it is worth contracting a professional to help target the media on your behalf.

There is a sample Media Release template located on page 51 of the Appendix.

GUIDE No.11working with the media - the do’s and don’ts

DO get to know your target media. You’ll have a much better chance of securing coverage if you understand your outlets’ interest areas, deadlines and house style if you match your material to suit.

DO build relationships with key journalists and introduce yourself well before the first pitch. The best media stories rarely come from media releases found languishing on fax machines.

DO look for the news in everything you do. Ask yourself: is it new, topical, prominent, relevant or timely? Does it have human interest, conflict or novelty?

DO look for opportunities to position yourself as an industry expert or commentator.

DO think about visuals. If a print or TV journalist wants an interview, find a good location that positively portrays your event or business. Remember that good visuals can skyrocket a story’s news value.

DO remember that pitching is like cold calling. Your job is to tell the journalist who you are, what your angle is and why they should care as quickly as possible.

DO have your talent confirmed and your media material ready to send before you start pitching. Maintaining momentum is important.

DO think beyond the media release. Case studies, opinion pieces, letters to the editor, photo calls and fact sheets are all great opportunities to promote your business or event.

DO use colourful language, analogies, metaphors and anecdotes. They are memorable and a great way to cut through the clutter and get your message out.

DO find out as much as you can about a journalist and their background before being interviewed.

DO thank journalists for their time and interest, even if they don’t end up running your story.

DON’T expect editorial control or favours. Journalists are not obliged to show you their story before it is published and asking them to do so can raise hackles.

DON’T bluff. It’s OK to say you don’t know the answer to a question. Offer to find out and get back to the journalist before their deadline.

DON’T stonewall journalists. ‘No comment’ is a death sentence – your detractors are ready and waiting to fill the airtime you’ve just missed out on.

DON’T miss deadline or delay responding to media enquiries. It’s in your interest to give the media access to your information and messages before they write their story.

DON’T use jargon, bureaucratic speak or complex phrasing. Keep your message simple – most media outlets write for the age range of 12-14yrs.

DON’T go off the record with a journalist, use profanity or make off-colour remarks. Anything you say at any time is fair game for publication.

DON’T threaten a journalist or editor before or after a negative story.

DON’T be surprised if you’re asked negative questions during an interview. Anticipate them – forewarned is forearmed.

DON’T get hung up on rejection when you’re pitching – it’s not personal.

DON’T use the same approach for all media. Recognise their differences and tailor your material and your pitch to suit.

DON’T badger a media outlet to run your story. If a journalist has already said no, don’t try another one at the same publication. Not only do they share the same news values, they often sit next to each other!

DON’T wait for the media to ‘discover’ your business or event – they may never do. Reach out to media with story leads, photo ideas and expert commentary. Let them know who you are, what you do and how you can help them.

Page 28: Wagga Wagga Events Guide

waggaevents.com.au/event-guide26

GUIDE No.12how to evaluate your eventYour event coordination role does not end when everything is packed away at the end of the day! You should evaluate your event to assess what worked, what didn’t and where improvements can be made. Here are some suggestions:

Task Completed

Conduct a survey or provide feedback forms during the event (See example page 52 of Appendix). Ask attendees what they like about your event and what they think could be improved. This is also a good chance to collect information about the types of people attending your event. It is a good idea to offer an incentive for completing the survey such as a prize (which could be sourced from one of your sponsors). Ask people attending the event if they know who the sponsors are. If large numbers of people associate the sponsor with the event, this will prove valuable when renegotiating sponsorships for the following year.Hold a debrief meeting that includes as many people as possible who were involved in the event. This might include staff, regulatory authorities, volunteers, sponsors, committee members and emergency services. Organise this well in advance so people have the date in their diaries and circulate an agenda that covers the key areas for discussion. If you send this beforehand, people can prepare their feedback for the meeting.Don’t take any criticism personally. Focus your ideas and discussions on improving the event.Send out an evaluation sheet to all key stakeholders (especially those who can’t attend the debrief). You could seek feedback from suppliers, performers, sponsors, venue managers and security guards as well as those directly involved with coordinating the event.Evaluate your success against the objectives you set at the beginning of your event planning process. Did you attract the numbers of people you had anticipated? Did you attract the type of people you wanted to reach? Did you reach your sponsorship target? Did you achieve the amount of media publicity you wanted?Will the event go ahead next year? When do you need to commence the organising? Who of the current team is going to be part of it? Identify the gaps.
