Host a Small Event on Shire Reserve or Beach (under 250)

Shire of Denmark parks, reserves and beaches can be reserved for small corporate and community functions, weddings, promotions, performances and sporting events.

To book a park or beach an application will need to be submitted to the Shire. We recommend that you contact us at least 30 days before the event date however alternative arrangements may be made for certain unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances. 

Gatherings not selling any items with an expected attendance of fewer than 50 people with low risk and no intention to bring significant infrastructure or use electricity, do not require a formal booking.  However, it is advisable to contact the Shire to ensure your preferred public space is available.

For large scale events with an expected attendance of over 250 people, please see our Hosting a Large Event page.
