Responsibility Of Local Authority

What are the role of a Local Authority in handling a problem of infectious disease in an event ?

What is an event ?


  • Event can be considered as any organised activity that takes place wholly or partly on public land (including roads  footpaths, parks, council venues and sports grounds).
  • The scale of some events may require the lodgement of a development application under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
  • Events range from small functions to large multi-organisational experiences, involving thousands of people,requiring complex management.


Hazard Identification
  •   Hazard identification involves identifying possible hazards in the lead up
  •   to during and at the conclusion of an event.
  •   Provision of first aid/medical facilities and quiet areas 
  •   Provision of facilities- toilets, washing facilities, drinking, drinking water and disposal of waste water.
  •   Waste management - waste collection during setting up, during and after the event.


Consent authority under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979

The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act provides a framework for determining if development consent is required for particular events. Consent may be required for activities such as building, carrying out work and the use of private land for the staging of certain events. Depending upon the scale of the event, a local, regional, or state environmental plan may apply. High impact (designated) activities will require an Environmental Impact Statement.

Consent and inspection authority under the Food Act 2003 .

A person selling food or operating stalls and outlets used for selling food, produce, fruits and vegetables or pre-packaged food for human consumption, is deemed to be a ‘food business’. This includes not-for-profit operations. A ‘food business’ is required to sell safe and suitable food in accordance with the provisions of the Food Act 2003.

Event scheduling
Scheduling is critical to the success of an event. Issues to be considered include:
  • Weather and other seasonal factors
  • Avoiding unnecessary disruption
  • Avoiding similar events in the same area being held at the same time
  • Impact of the event on surrounding in frastructure, for example avoiding certain road closures at critical periods
  • Availability of required resources
  • Integration with complementary activities
