Some of the facilities that must be made available are making the rooms available at an affordable price so that people can accommodate themselves. The number of hotels must be increased so that it can accommodate the greater number of tourists both from the national and the international basis. The transportation facilities must also be increased. Though the tourists can easily travel there, by availing the train and the bus routes hut still there has to be a number of transportation options. They can also start launching some vehicles for carrying the passengers from the airport or from the bus stoppages to the direct spot of the event. This will help in reducing the hassle that the tourists often face when they come to the event for the first time.  There will also be some health check-up facilities or some doctors kept ready at the event site for the children or any of the other visitors.

The event that is talked about in this essay is the winter magic event at the Bondi district. This is an event that is done under the joint collaboration of the B on do chamber of commerce and the Waverly council. This event is organized for various purposes. It is not only hinted at providing the joy and entertainment to the tourists coming from different parts of the nation but also at protecting the local rural culture and the heritage. One of the major attractions of this even is the ice skating rink activity. Apart from this they have many cliff walks, natural and eco tours that help the tourists to get the taste of the local culture. This is also an effort to maintain the rich heritage and the natural gifts of the Bondi district.

This has to be kept in mind that the event which is being carried on must be in accordance with the Local council policies that is the Waverly council. The objectives of this council will be followed at each and every event (Mantei, 2016). This is because the event is directed at making the lives of the local residents easier.

• Environmental Sustainability
• Providing employment opportunities to the local people
• Maintaining proper legal procedures
• Utilizing the space in winter and leaving it empty during the summer season
• It must be a nonprofit seeking event
• It must be conducted under the joint and collaborative effort
• Must be an effort to preserve and promote art. Music, culture.
• Transparency about the description of the activities of the event

Appeal to target audience

The objective of this event is that it will comply with the social, cultural, strategic and the environmental directions. This event will have a great devotion towards making the people aware about the rich cultural heritage of Bondi district. They will be conducting many walks and marches that will help in making the visitors get a view of the heritage sites. This, in turn, will be a very good advancement towards the field of academics and culture (Booth, 2016).

This event also gives a very clear and transparent description of all the events that will be carried on. All these news will be reflected on the websites and the web pages that will help in making the visitors get a very clear idea about the events that will be taking place. It gives a detailed description of the marches and the walks that will be carried on. It also gives the description of nature walks called the cliff walks that will help in making the visitors know about the beautiful natural sounds and sites that surround the place (Getz & Page, 2016).

The other objective is providing the proper control measures so that the activities that are being conducted at the event do not cause any harm to the residents of the Bondi district or to the environment as a whole. Efforts are to be taken so that the materials being used at the event are biodegradable (Page & Connell, 2014). The snow skating rinks will naturally need some artificial preservatives that will be used for keeping the snow fresh and controlling any bacterial activities taking place.

This has to be the concern, rather one of the major concerns of the authority because they must never compromise with the health and the well being of their visitors. The other aspect that must be kept under a strict check is controlling the air pollution (Booth, 2016). None of the games shows or any other activity that is being carried on in the Bondi winter show can harm the nature. A good instance can be the solid wastes accumulated due to the arrival of the huge number of tourists. As there will be many of the events that will take place near the sea beach, there can be a chance that tourists keep on throwing litter on the beach. These garbage cans mainly include the plastic bottles or the other kinds of canned food.

These plastics will get accumulated on the sea beach in very large amounts and will cause large-scale pollution in the coming days. This will ruin the beauty, sanctity and the freshness of the Bondi district. Not only will t cause harm to the charm of the Bondi winter event and the visitors but also the local residents (Horvath, 2017).

Cliff walks

Some visitors might use improper means for carrying on their illegal activities. They might carry on drinking or doing drugs even in the prohibited areas if the security is not tight.

This must be kept in mind that one of the main objectives is to help the local residents to grow and develop. So if the environment is damaged, it will harm them a great deal to sustain within that local surroundings. It will also satisfy the objective of the council that talks about working for any social cause. In other words, it will be working for the benefit of the local people of the Bondi district. It will also be directed towards increasing the awareness or the will for preserving the rich culture and the heritage of the place.

It will also satisfy the kinds of shows that are going to take place like the concerts, fairs, festivals, events of historical importance, festivals exhibiting the art, music and film cultures and many others (Holmes et al., 2015). It is also helped by the collaborated effort of the chamber of commerce and the Waverly council. So it manages to satisfy the clause of the council that the event has to be conducted under the joint or the partnered efforts and investments of the council (Montiel et al., 2018).

The purpose of the event is also fulfilled. The purpose is not merely money making. It has some very useful purposes like providing a good recreational activity to the people. It is also much committed towards the educational purposes as well. It is mainly about the motif of teaching the visitors games and sports like the ice skating.

 It also will try to provide health benefits to people by giving them a fresh and clean view of nature. Often people suffer from many different kinds of health problems and the doctor might ask them to get a change of mind. So, this event will be conducting walks like the cliff walks where it will guide and take the visitors or a tour or a walk through the cliffs of the Bondi district. This will give them a beautiful view of the fresh and pollution free nature. It will also be abiding by the strict legal codes and conducts as well. This event will make sure that there are no illegal activities that are being carried on in any of the parts of the show. In other words, they will strictly prohibit the use of drugs, alcohols or any other kinds of additive material (du Cros 2016). They will also not allow anyone to rink openly (Gurran & Phibbs, 2017).

Feasibility

The event organizers will also make sure that there is no harm being some to any kind of animals that are being used in the event. Even if they are bringing any kinds of animals for conducting any circus or any other entertainment shows they will maintain a strict check about the health and the well being of the same. They will make sure that the visitors are not causing any harm to the animals. There will be strict laws followed against the hunting or the poaching of animals. They will also have to make sure that they are not occupying the place of the event during the summer season.

In other words, the event organizers will maintain decorum and will use the space only for conducting the event during the winter season. They will not conduct the event in the summer. They will have to leave the space for being used up for any other events by any other organization (Osmond, 2014).

The other major objective that it has to satisfy is that they cannot cause any harm to the ecological setup. They will make sure that they are not entering into any restricted or any protected land areas (Sappey, 2014). They will do an extended survey to make sure that they are not getting involved in any activities like cutting down of the trees or hurting any the animals. They have to make sure that none of their activities are disrupting the ecological balance (Hatfield-Dodds et al., 2015).

They will also maintain a proper decorum in getting the approval for space and the show that they will conduct (Kragh, 2014). They will not set up this event without getting a proper permission from the local council or the government authorities. They will have to be patient enough in getting the entire process done. They must not hurry or there are chances that the legal proceedings can be hampered. So, they will be maintaining discipline in terms of the approval process (Getz & Page, 2016).

They will also gain a huge knowledge about the recyclable and then on recyclable materials, so that they can keep the environment clean and can add more to it. It is a known fact that the visited will be dumping the material like the plastics, rotten or leftover food, food packets, and many other such things. So, the event organizers will make sure that these thrown away materials are sorted properly. The nonrecyclable ones must be checked and taken away at a distant place so that the natural beauty is not getting hampered. The visitors are also to be made alert before this. On the other hand, the recyclable materials can be collected separately and can be taken for the recycling purposes o that they can be used for other benefits. For an instance, the papers, magazines that will be thrown away can be collected and reused for aiming new paper bags.

Activities

This will also serve as a means of local employment opportunities as well. The event will be opening up markets that will display and promote the locally made products. They will try to open many new employment opportunities for the Bondi residents during this occasion.

Conclusion

So, it can be concluded that the event will be a great success if it follows all the objectives and the aims of the Waverly council. The event organizers will have to keep in mind that they are working not only for the purpose of money making but for the purpose of social development as well. They will have to maintain all the formalities that are required for the approval or the permission of the same. They will be maintaining a deep respect for all the residents who are, living in the Bondi district and will surely have a deep respect for the Waverly council cultures as well.
