Host a Large Event on Shire Reserve or Beach (over 250)

If you're thinking about hosting a large-scale event in the Shire of Denmark, one of our parks, beaches or reserves may be the ideal location.

For planning purposes, large scale events such as corporate and community events, concerts, performances and sporting events that have an expected attendance of over 250 people require a longer lead time.

Large events may need Council endorsement and significant consultation before being approved.

So there is enough time to obtain all necessary approvals we recommend you contact us at least 80 days before the event date however alternative arrangements may be made for certain unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances.
