Province Limburg: Applying for an event licence
The province should be notified of short sports events in, on or above a provincial waterway. Short events include sprietlopen (walking or running along a beam across water), paalvechten (fighting on a beam over water) and canoeing competitions. A notification is sufficient if there is no risk to safety and to the smooth flow of water traffic. You must request authorisation if the event presents a risk to safety or to the smooth flow of water traffic. You must also do this if people swimming may present a nuisance or danger to water traffic.
The conditions for notification include: You wish to organise a short event in, on or above a provincial waterway. The waterway is managed by the province. There is no risk to safety or to the smooth flow of water traffic. You must apply for authorisation if there is a risk to safety or to the smooth flow of water traffic. As a starting point, you can assume that you will get permission if the event takes place outside shipping hours.
