Governance

Once your application is received by the Events Team we will look over your initial paperwork and check your date is available and that your event is in line with acceptable events on Council land.


This is then referred for "approval in principle subject to SAG advice". How your event is "approved in principle" depends on the size, location and activity or your event – all events will need to be approved by the relevant land manager. Smaller events will be approved by the Sandwell Event Manager and the largest will also need approval by the relevant Assistant Director, in consultation with the relevant Cabinet member.
