Explores the underlying processes in event management and their convergence toward the project management system. In particular, the dynamic system of event management is outlined with examples in current events and festivals. The latest trends in project management and the influence of information technology has recently given rise to a system suitable to event management. The external environment in which the event occurs, including stakeholder objectives, has brought about the obligation of an accountable system. This paper is the first step towards an event project management system that integrates all elements of the planning and control, but must also respond to change and take opportunities where necessary. Events as large as the Sydney Olympics and as small as the Illawarra Folk Festival use the processes, language and to a degree, the software of Project Management.
This article investigates how event management processes have evolved to align with project management principles. It explains the dynamic nature of event management using examples from current events and festivals. The rise of project management trends and advancements in information technology has made it possible to create a suitable event management system. The need for accountability, taking into account stakeholder objectives, has necessitated the development of a system that is responsible and transparent. The article proposes an event project management system that incorporates all aspects of planning and control while remaining adaptable to changes and opportunities. This system has been used by events of varying scales, from the Sydney Olympics to the Illawarra Folk Festival, which share the same processes, terminology, and, to some extent, software as project management.
Main Roads Western Australia is the agency in charge of road signs for all public roads. This Code outlines Main Roads’ traffic management requirements for events that may disrupt the normal operation or usage of the road. Such events have the potential to create hazards and cause delays, which can result in injury, damage, legal action, or prosecution if event organizers fail to take reasonable care to ensure the safety of road users and those involved in the event. Managing events that affect the road necessitates consideration of the needs and responsibilities of all road users, not just vehicular traffic around the event site. This Code of Practice outlines guidelines for managing traffic during or near events.
Main Roads Western Australia is the authority responsible for road signs on all public roads.
This Code describes Main Roads’ traffic management requirements for events that impact on
normal usage or the operation of the road. Organised events that impact on the safe and efficient use
of our roads by motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, including emergency services, can create potential
hazards and delays that can give rise to injury or damage resulting in loss, litigation or prosecution if
reasonable care is not taken by event organisers to protect both road users and those involved in the
events. The management of events that impact on roads requires consideration of all road user needs
and obligations, and attention should not focus just on the management of vehicular traffic through, past
or around the site of the event. This Code of Practice describes requirements for managing traffic at or
near events.
