Planning a party in Werribee
Wyndham's rule is simple: if more than 50 people will be there at once, or you are bringing inflatable rides, marquees or food services onto public open space, apply for a permit first (Wyndham City Council). Private functions are on the council's list of events that may need one. A smaller picnic-style party in a park usually falls outside it.
Alcohol and large marquees
Drinking in a public place in Wyndham can need a Consumption of Alcohol in a Public Place Permit under the council's Community Amenity Local Law 2023, so check before you plan a bar in a park. For a big marquee, Wyndham points out that tents and marquees over 100 square metres are prescribed temporary structures, which need an occupancy permit and the council building surveyor's siting approval.
Backyard parties
On your own block none of the park rules apply, but the practical questions do: the ground surface for a marquee or jumping castle, power for lights and blowers, and access down the side of the house for the delivery crew. Tell the hire business about all three when you ask for a quote.
