SHEPPARTON
11-12 October 2019
Shepparton Agricultural Society recently had their show planning with representatives from WorkSafe Victoria, Shepparton Police, Shepparton Fire Brigade, Greater Shepparton City Council Environmental Health and Major Events.
There were a few issues arising from our 2018 Shepparton Show that will need to be addressed for us to conduct a safe and enjoyable Shepparton Show for patrons, traders and exhibitors alike.
As a result of this meeting, the following procedures will be implemented.
Food Traders:
All food vendors must register with Streatrader and all paperwork must be submitted least 2 weeks prior to our show i.e. show date 11th& 12th October 2019.
Late submissions will not be allowed to trade at the Shepparton Show. Please contact Greater Shepparton City Council Environmental Health on 03 58329731 or email council@ shepparton.vic.gov.au if you require further information.
Amusement Rides:
These must all be insured by
the third-party contractor i.e. Showmen’s Guild etc. and a current Certificate of Currency must be obtained BEFORE allowing the contractor to enter the grounds and set up.
There must be a clearway left on corners of streets to allow large emergency vehicles to clear access throughout the grounds and
be aware of front of house with awnings, shutters etc. opening onto the street. Movement of
large emergency vehicles is not to be hindered by the placement of Amusement rides, sideshow games, activities and sideshow novelties encroaching over boundary lines. Waste & Rubbish:
All rubbish including cable ties, balloon scraps, fairy floss stick, food containers, cigarette butts, glass bottles, drink cans, baby’s nappies, syringes, carboard and general household rubbish must be
disposed in the appropriate manner and place in the appropriate waste bin. Dumping of mattresses, oil cans, cooking oil, tyres, unwanted electrical goods into skip bins
will not be tolerated and must be disposed in the correct manner at the waste transfer station.
Dogs:
Dogs are not permitted to roam the showground. Please ensure all dogs remain in the care and control of their owners and please clean up after them. The Council Ranger will be notified if dogs are wandering. Traders and Exhibitors:
All marquees must be safely secured to prevent being them moving in
the event of wind. Ensure signage, banners, etc are secure. Please ensure all electrical leads are tested and tagged. Please ensure all LPG gas cylinders are compliant with current safety standards.
Camping Area:
No lighting of fires is permitted in camping areas. These areas must be kept clean and tidy, no dumping of rubbish, cigarette butts, cans, etc and no glass allowed.
We are unable to secure road closure in Fryer’s St Ext for parking of large trucks and vehicles as it will blocks access to PTV bus stop. Only minimal number of heavy vehicles will be allowed to remain on grass arena, due to damage to grass surface in previous years. All excess vehicles must remain off site.
Vehicles:
No vehicle movement is allowed during show operating times 10am- 10pm, except for Emergency vehicles and where it is necessary. Livestock exhibitors must be escorted and move at walking pace with their hazard lights operating during
show time. Please obey directions given by Traffic Marshalls. Delivery vehicles are only permitted to enter the showground between 7.00am- 9.00am on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th October 2019.
Emergency Vehicle Gate:
Access points are: Gate 1 (High Street Gate), Gate 3 (Thompson Street) and Gate 8 (corner High & Archer Street)
We thank you for understanding and co-operation with these procedures.
