Safety Planning for Public Events There continues to be liaison with the event staff to provide guidance with hazards associated with the current events. A process for the review of risks associated with events is in place. This includes a regular meeting between event staff, operational staff, and the Health and Safety Consultant to complete a high level review of events to identify higher risk activities that may require a more detailed review. An event register has been established which records upcoming events and planned safety activities associated with that event, including safety plan reviews and audits of event setup. A template plan has been developed for small events and activations. This records basic information concerning health and safety aspects of a proposed event and provides event organisers hazard and emergency evacuation information associated with the Wynyard Quarter. We have established a liaison process with the Auckland Council Safety team to ensure that the review of event safety plans and site setup is efficient as possible. There are some issues around the monitoring of the events to ensure compliance with the approved safety plan. This is the responsibility of the permit issuing organisation (Auckland Council). This has been discussed with Auckland Council in the most recent liaison meeting. Agreed that Waterfront Auckland will raise any issues as they arise. 7
