Safe partying
Police have encouraged party organisers to minimise the risks and help make their party successful, enjoyable and safe for everyone.
Following several incidents from parties which have required police response, police have provided the following tips:
- Let the police know that you are having a party by completing the Party Registration Form online. Access the form through the NSW Police Force website www.police.nsw.gov.au/services/party_registration and lodge at least 72 hours prior to the party being held.
- Consider how the party will be advertised. Don't use the tnternet, SMS or email distribution lists, online notice boards or social networking sites. If word of the party has spread, you will need to take extra preventative measures (eg. change venue, more adult supervisors, hire a security guard, ask neighbours to notify you of any unusual behaviour).
- Guest lists should be kept to a manageable size. If you are hosting a young person's party, and you are expecting a large number of people, consider asking other responsible adults to assist with supervision, or consider hiring security officers.
- Make sure your party has a definite start and finish time, and that your guests know what these times are.
- If your party will be held in a hall or sporting facility, contact your local council or community group regarding the hiring conditions, public liability, restrictions etc. This may end up saving you money in the long run.
- If uninvited people attend the party, ask them to leave, if they don't leave contact police on 131 444. If it is an emergency call Triple Zero (000).
- Be aware that it is an offence for alcohol to be served or provided to people under the age of 18. Ensure under 18s do not have access to alcohol. If under 18s do consume alcohol/drugs, contact their parents and have them collected from the party.
- Have only one entrance or exit to make it easier to control who attends your party. Consider how you will monitor and control this. Don't allow people to wander around or congregate out the front of your house.
- Try to confine the party to a backyard, building or enclosed area as it is easier to control your guests. Avoid using front yards or street frontages as this attracts uninvited guests/gatecrashers and can cause complaints from neighbours.
- Have visible supervision or security. You also have the right to ask people to leave. If required contact the police on 131 444. In an emergency always contact Triple Zero (000).
