Council is proposing to create an Events Policy to enable Hamilton to reach its full potential as an event enabling and welcoming city


Why are we developing an Events Policy?

Hamilton City Council is committed to attracting and supporting events within the city, The draft Events Policy aims to reduce some of the barriers to holding events in Kirikiriroa.

Events contribute to the social and cultural wellbeing of Hamiltonians. They enable opportunities to connect and celebrate Kirikiriroa's rich cultural heritage and diversity.

Council is seeking feedback on the proposed policy from key event stakeholders.
