Public liability insurance is an important part of planning a safe and successful event. It can help protect your organisation if your event accidentally causes injury to someone or damage to someone else's property.
Not every event will need public liability insurance, but it's important to understand the level of risk involved and whether insurance is appropriate for your event. As the event organiser, you're responsible for considering your risks and arranging suitable insurance where required.
Please note that events organised by third parties are not covered by Hutt City Council's insurance, and Council does not accept liability for claims that may arise from those events.
We encourage all organisers to speak with their insurer or insurance provider to discuss the right level of cover for their event.
Our Public Liability Insurance Guide provides practical information to help you understand when insurance may be appropriate, the types of risks to consider, and where to go for further advice.
