Insurance
Every event must have appropriate Public Liability Insurance to ensure the organising committees and their members are financially protected against loss should an incident occur.
A Certificate of Currency for Public Liability Insurance of at least $10 million must be submitted to Moreland City Council along with your event permit application. Approval of your event will not start until evidence of your cover is received.
The Certificate of Currency must outline:
- the name of the Insurer
- the limit of the indemnity - at least $10 million. If rides or amusements are part of your event program a minimum of $20 million indemnity is required
- currency of the policy at the time of the event
The policy must indicate that Moreland City Council is noted as an Interested Party (Principals Indemnity Endorsement), and that the Business Activity shown on the Certificate of Currency must be appropriate for the organiser’s function, such as organising and running a community festival.
If the event organisers have received permission from Council to engage a ride and amusement contractor, the contractor must also provide a copy of their Certificate of Currency for Public Liability insurance of not less than $20 million to Moreland City Council.
More information on Public Liability for community groups can be found by visiting Community Insurance or by contacting Community Insurance on 9860 3470 or 9860 3434.
Remember – unless you have Public Liability Insurance, you cannot run an event in the Moreland muinicipality.
