Public communications in the lead-up to all events is essential and should be incorporated into the marketing and communications strategy.
Consider messaging, consultation, communications channels and timeliness when developing your pre-event public communication plan.
Your plan should include messages that have been approved by and are consistent with relevant stakeholders, such as NSW Police Force, Service NSW and local council.
For a comprehensive guide to marketing and communication of your event, refer to the Event tool kit, forms and handy tips page. You may also like to view the NSW Premier and Cabinet Event Starter Guide here.
