In order to organise a large event such as the Rhythm & Vines Music festival, the event coordinators have to carefully construct a plan which ensures that they have enough resources to accommodate and supervise the influx of people at their festival. To have a successful event, one must create the perfect plan to ensure that the festival returns annually and does not go out of business. The most crucial process of the event is the process of planning and decision making, particularly because if the fact that they changed the duration of the event from one day, to three days in 2008. Due to this change, the process of planning and decision making has most probably undergone multiple changes causing it to become a much more complicated process.

Without good security, the festival wouldn’t have the safe, secure yet pleasant environment that it currently possesses. Security fencing and the placement of security staff at entrances to control the movement in and out of the grounds is something the organisers had to plan to insure the guests have a good, safe time at the event. It also prevents illicit personnel and illicit items entering the grounds. It will be a crucial catalyst in preventing people from bringing their own alcohol to the event as well as preventing people who haven’t bought tickets to the event from entering it. Not to mention that Security will also be posted throughout the grounds to prevent minor/major problems that may arise. These will be the crucial factors towards keeping security for/during the event. In the 2014 Rhythm & Vines festival, some unresolved issues escalated to the point where rioting began and, 83 people were injured during these riots. This happened because of a lack in planning and a smug attitude because there were “no problems” in previous years. The riots gave the event coordinators a chance to rethink their strategies which resulted in having a larger emphasis towards security so that events like the riots would not happen again. Their new planning strategies will be a crucial factor towards Rhythm & Vines being active event for future …show more content…
In past years the lack of security checking for alcohol and not following regulations has led to people gaining a ‘mob mentality’ which has resulted in injuries and damage to both the natural and cultural environment. The riots which occurred at the BW Summer Festival in 2014, (runs along with the R&V festival, but is a separate event), resulted in 83 people getting injured, 7 of which needed hospital treatment, 63 people getting arrested; not to mention the damage to the surrounding property in which, not only cars were overturned, but, tents were also set on fire. The lack of security and alcohol regulations, caused this event to be an unproductive tragedy. But because of the 2014 riots, the rules for alcohol have changed. The rules have changed to the rules which are stated in the AEE, alcohol brought from offsite locations is not allowed on the grounds. The only alcohol which is permitted at the event is the alcohol which is sold from on-site locations (Detailed in figure 2). For them to do this the event coordinators had to acquire a liquor license, which they did. The alcohol will only be sold in plastic cups. This is to avoid any injury or damage of a third party in case of an incident. This is extremely crucial planning as it makes the event a safer place and it will also stop people from binge-drinking as it
