The concept plan
Greater Local Council is a local governmental area lies in North Coast Region of New
South Wales, Australia. Members of this council wants to organise an event in there area. The
reason behind this is to improve and develop relationship between people who belongs to
different locations but after merger of their area, they have to live at same place. Due to different
background, there is negative relationship between people of both locations (Kassens-Noor, and
et. al 2015). Therefore, by organising an event, council members wants to reduce negativity
from their minds and try to develop good relationship among them as well. For this purpose, they
hire an event team who will help in inviting people of native land. This team is required to
convince people to take participation in such an event so that level of interaction can be
developed with each other. This would also help in bringing closure to all persons and assist
them to give cooperation in development of own place.
In this regard, event team has suggested to an idea to council members to organise
program on Food Fair. As population of this location is near about 150k, where mostly people
belong to middle age having primary school age kids. So, concept of food fair will attract people
to participate in exhibition and set up their stalls. Under this exhibition, people can offer variety
of traditional and tasty foods. It includes Chicken Parmigiana, Lamingtons, Barramundi,
Vegimite and etc. Thus, by making such foods and show at fair, individuals will know about
others traditions and culture. This will help in developing interaction between individuals and
they will start to talk with each other about process of preparing food. This reflects that idea of
food festival is effective by which people of different background can start communication with
each other (Getz and Robinson, 2014). Thus, in this context, council members would have given
a budget, which is near about $30,000 to event team for organising the whole exhibition.
Henceforth, event manager is required to formulate a proper budget plan so that each activity
will proceed in appropriate manner. This would help in optimising resources more adequately.
