Signs, Noise and Neighbours
There is a good chance that your event may involve promotion, noise (the sounds of fun of course) and the need for just a few extra car parks. If any of these are a likely part of your agenda you will need to consult and complete the forms below.
Residents like to be pre-warned if their neighbourhood is going to be disrupted by an event. If your event involves any sort of public broadcast - vocal or musical - or road closures, after-hours lighting, mechanical noise or anything else that may change the established and accepted ambience of a neighbourhood, you must notify the local residents first.
How soon should you do this? While there is no set law governing this procedure, a courteous rule-of-thumb would suggest that a month's notice is ample enough to allow any issues to be tabled and aired.
Please refer to a sample of resident notification by clicking on the following link: Community Events Template Sample Resident Notification
Signs of any description may not be erected on roads without Frankston City Council permission. For this reason we ask you to fill out and submit to us the Temporary Signage Application Form
Your event may require the erection of a "static display". Static displays can come in many forms, usually a marquee or tent or similar, but occasionally crossing over into the realms of a "playing area", stage, sculpture or similar. As some static displays require building permits, must be checked for safety or may impact the environment, all static displays must be documented and applied for in the proper manner.
Please refer to the Community Events Template Static Display Form
Some events that you organise may come under the Building Code of Practise and require a Occupancy permit or Approval for Temporary stuctures, for more infomation contact Council's Building Department on
1300 322 322.
