PUBLIC EVENT FRAMEWORK
When an entertainment facility hosts an activity which fulfils
the definition of a one-off
public
event, organisers may apply for their activity to be considered under the Public Events
Framework (PEF).
Examples include
an exhibition, festival, fair, parade, or performance.
However:
Most routine, ordinary, day to day operations of a venue or facility including Indoor and Outdoor are
expected to remain subject to the requirements of the published directions for those activities,
not the PEF.
A public event is
not
:
a private or public gathering of members of the public in a facility, venue, indoor space or outdoor space for
ordinary, day-to-day operations, use, activities or services
https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/public-events-
information-for-organisers
Public Event Framework
- Tiers
The Public Events Framework applies to events in three categories:
1.
Tier 1
: highly complex and involving
more than 5,000 attendees
2.
Tier 2:
moderately complex
involving
500-5,000 attendees
3.
Tier 3 low
complexity and involving
500 attendees or less
•
Tier 1 and 2 public events are required to submit a
COVIDSafe Event Plan
for review and approval by the Victorian government. DJPR and DHHS / CHO
•
Tier 3 events; self-evaluate; published guidelines. Develop and upload a
COVIDSafe Event Checklist
. Need to publish online. Implement.
Public Event Framework
- process
On Line Registration and Assessment Process
https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/public-events
1.
Tier 1 events should be registered 8 to 10 weeks before event start date.
2.
Tier 2 events should be registered 4 to 6 weeks before the event start date.
3.
Tier 3 events should be registered 1 week before the event.
Other risk factors may mean that an event is classified at a higher tier and will
require approval
•
If a Tier 3 event has four or more of the event risk factors it will be
recategorised as a Tier 2 event
•
If a Tier 2 event has six or more of the risk factors it will be recategorised as a
Tier 1 event
Public Event Framework
– risk factors
1.

Is the event held over multiple successive days with different attendees each
day?
7.
Will the event include participants or attendees from interstate?
