Major Events EOI City of Melbourne manages multiple public open spaces for events hosted in our city throughout the year. To manage the demand for spaces, we hold an expression of interest round each year to capture events beyond 12 months ahead. How to apply If you’re an event organiser or group planning events in our city, the Major Event Expressions of Interest (EOI) process allows you to apply for the use of City of Melbourne public open spaces. The Major Event EOI opened 1 May 2026 for events from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030. The EOI process is focused on capturing major events that meets one or more of the following conditions: • Events with an attendance of 10,000 people or more. • Events involving complex road closures (for example, multiple road closures or closing main roads with multiple detours). • Events with large infrastructure builds requiring cranes or multiple vehicles for set up and pack down.
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
