Key Document: Approval of Venues for Sporting, Cultural or Entertainment Events (Regulation 19B)
Prior to the introduction of Reg.19B approvals, venues such as Fremantle Prison were required to apply to the City for individual events in the form of a Reg.18 licence, which were one off approvals. This ad hoc approach didn’t provide the necessary certainty for the Prison to plan events throughout the year, nor did it provide any real limit on the number of events that could be held at the venue. The Regulation 19B Policy is to address permanent venues which propose to hold regular outdoor concerts and events that would produce noise in excess of the levels permitted under the provisions of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997.
To help the decision-making process of Reg.19B approvals, the City of Fremantle developed the Approval of Venues for Sporting, Cultural or Entertainment Events; Reg.19B Policy.
