Place of Assembly

Procedure for Obtaining a Temporary Place of Assembly Licence

The procedure for obtaining a place of assembly licence under the Public Health Act 1997 has changed following the introduction of the new Building Control Legislation in 2004.

If you are planning a public event that involves the use of existing buildings that are not currently licensed as Places of Assembly and/or any temporary structures then you must initially contact a Building Surveyor.  The Building Surveyor is required to assess and issue:

  • Certificate of Suitability for existing buildings

or

  • Certificate of Likely Compliance (or a letter of exemption) for temporary structures

 

These documents from the Building Surveyor must be submitted to the Council before the issue of a Place of Assembly Licence will be considered.

The attached information sheet contains the procedure for public events that involve the use of:

  • Existing Buildings
  • New Temporary Structures
  • No Buildings or Structures
