Camden Council is undertaking a review of the program of Council-run events and is seeking input from the community, internal and external stakeholders to ensure that events continue to meet the needs of our growing community.
The findings from the Council-run events review will assist in developing an Event Strategy that will provide strategic directions and priorities for events as well as in evaluation framework and internal action plan.
The events review will use information gathered from historic events data including attendance, expenditure and social media interactions and post event survey responses in relation to community satisfaction.
Further engagement was undertaken including external stakeholder surveys, Events Reference Group workshop and internal staff workshop.
