Richmond Council plans to boost outdoor community events, including outdoor cinema and pop-up theatre, in local parks and open spaces. The draft policy will encourage these initiatives but impose regulations on their size, frequency, and operational hours. Amidst rising concerns over public event management, the council emphasizes the importance of protecting air quality and minimizing waste. Further, it aims to provide local benefits such as job creation while promoting community engagement and cultural appreciation through these events.
Richmond Council has unveiled a new draft policy that includes holding more events in the area's parks, open spaces and commons, such as outdoor cinema and neighbourhood festivals.
The draft policy intends to encourage more events, but it will also put limits on the size and frequency of them, as well as their hours of operation.
Councillor Julia Neden-Watts remarked the aim is to promote opportunities for people to come together at events while protecting the landscapes cherished by the community.
