Funding boost to enliven City’s street-based events 🏙️✨🕺 Transport for NSW has announced that City of Wagga Wagga is one of 16 NSW local government areas to receive $500,000 through the Permit/Plug/Play Pilot Program. The funding will be used to streamline the delivery of street-based events by enhancing event infrastructure and reducing operational costs for organisers. This will improve event management processes and support the city's cultural, economic, and social activities. Plans include developing pre-approved Traffic Control Plan templates and installing infrastructure such as retractable road bollards, electrical provisions, and additional lighting. The funds will also support the Festival of W 2025, demonstrating the new processes and infrastructure in action. The project will focus on Baylis Street (Morrow to Fitzmaurice streets), Morrow Street (Baylis to Peter streets), and Burns Way. Learn more >>https://bit.ly/3XDn7Dz 📸 Festival of W 2024

The recent challenges at the No Values Punk Rock Festival highlight the importance of planning every part of the attendee experience. While crafting an unforgettable lineup is crucial, the success of an event also depends on smooth operations from arrival to departure. Here are key takeaways for planning your events: Promote Alternative Transportation: Use nearby public transport options and shuttles to reduce traffic and enhance convenience. Ensure Accurate Communication: Provide clear and timely information about parking and transport options to avoid confusion. Transportation Equity: Offer options beyond personal vehicles to make events more inclusive. Public transport aligns with the punk movement's ethos of equality and justice. Future Planning: Capitalize on improvements in public transit infrastructure and balance the benefits with potential challenges.

Let’s learn from these missteps and strive to create events that rock from start to finish. 📸 L. Paul Mann Read more in the Forbes article posted in the comments here: https://lnkd.in/gTH-CAgT

Three simple actions to arrange successful events (well, and pretty much anything) in small towns. (1) explore. Guaranteed you’ll find the most incredible resources from people to assets to venues. It will all be there. (2) ask. You’ll be surprised how often people say yes and genuinely want to help you out. (3) trust. It may not look like you imagined and it almost certainly won’t be what a big hotel would offer. But that’s ok. Fit for purpose is the new perfect. And it will never be boring !! 5 weeks to go until this years national Social Impact in the Regions conference.
