If the proposed move goes ahead, instead of having to go through the normal Lakes Environmental consenting process, event organisers could instead liaise with the council's events and arts facilitator, who would administer the overall consent.
Current QLDC facilitator Jan Maxwell said that, if approved, the system would work particularly well in reducing the administration for events such as the Winter Festival, "who do a wonderful job year after year".
"We see it as being proactive and making Queenstown more open for events and ... we are all working together to make this process smoother for people. We want to make it work for the community," Mrs Maxwell said.
Each event would be reviewed by the facilitator and given a rating based on previous activities, with the reapplication process simplified for returning, well-organised events, and a bond for new event organisers until they proved their worth.
The 10 reserves included in the consent application include Queenstown's Earnslaw Park and the Village Green, Wanaka's Pembroke Park, the Lake Hayes Pavilion, and Arrowtown's Buckingham and Village greens.
The application says the council will work to provide a "one stop shop" for event organisers, with booking of event sites through Lakes Leisure and an intended two-week timeframe to assess and notify applicants.
A written statement from Queenstown Lakes Mayor Vanessa van Uden gave her support for the application, saying the blanket consent would stop the need for different event managers to seek individual consents for their particular event.
"Festivals and events fulfil an important role in our district, making it a vibrant, active, diverse community in which to live and an exciting, lively destination for our many visitors," Ms van Uden said.
"This initiative is an excellent way of ensuring that event managers can focus on the primary role of delivering a high-quality, enjoyable and safe event by relieving them of a small, but important, administrative task."
All sites listed are already used for events and the council would still require certain documents, such as operational and health and safety plans, for each event.
