Applying to be declared a major event under the Major Events Management Act 2007 (MEMA)

They include considerations related to the international significance of the major event (such as international visitation and media coverage) and the benefits it would bring to New Zealand and New Zealanders. To start the process, the event organiser must apply for the event to be declared to be a major event under the Act. If you wish to apply, please contact the Major Events team within the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).
