Planning Your Event

Upper Lachlan Shire Council’s vision is to establish a balanced and sustainable portfolio of vibrant tourism and community events that celebrate and generate awareness of the unique attributes of the Shire, creating compelling reasons for visitors and residents to explore and return to the area.

  • your event will impact vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic, or you are requesting closure of a road or carpark
  • you are charging a participant fee
