Local governments are increasingly adopting OnePlan to streamline event planning processes and improve collaboration. From parks and recreation departments to town councils to chambers of commerce, OnePlan’s smart tools and precise mapping capabilities make event planning easier. Here’s how professionals across various sectors are using OnePlan to plan their events:
Eagle Mountain City Reduces Event Planning Time with OnePlan
For Dawn Hancock, Events Manager at Eagle Mountain City, OnePlan has become essential for accurate and efficiently-planned event layouts. With features like accurate HD maps, customizable tent icons, and design and drop walking paths, Dawn can confidently create detailed, professional site plans.
“Gone are the days of creating separate layouts for fire, police, facilities, and other departments. Now, I can create a single, all-encompassing layout.”
By consolidating her layouts, Dawn estimates that OnePlan saves her thousands of dollars and reduces planning time from 8-10 hours to just a few.
It’s safe to say using OnePlan saves us thousands of dollars.”

South Fayette Township Streamlines Site Planning with OnePlan’s Accurate Maps
Paula Willis, Director of Parks and Recreation for South Fayette Township, emphasizes the value of OnePlan’s up-to-date mapping capabilities. In the past, outdated Google Earth images forced her to estimate layouts and rely on manual measurements. OnePlan’s recently updated maps and scaled design tools have eliminated this guesswork.
“The proportion factor is huge. In Photoshop, I would do a big giant rectangle and have no idea what proportion it would be to the actual space. I love that in OnePlan everything going on to your plan is to scale.”
Paula also highlights how easy it is to share exported layouts with her team and stakeholders, ensuring everyone is aligned.
“I can share the exported version of my plan with everyone who needs to see it, which is a real benefit for everyone connected to the event.”
Banbury Town Council Found Easier Outdoor Event Planning
OnePlan has been a game-changer for Toby Russel, Events Manager at Banbury Town Council, especially for large-scale events like food festivals and Christmas light switch-ons. By removing the need for multiple software solutions, OnePlan’s all-in-one platform helps Toby stay organized while making site planning more efficient.
“OnePlan has revolutionized the planning of outdoor events, removing the need to use different sources of information and software.”
The drag-and-drop tools and wide selection of event elements, such as crowd barriers, have not only made planning easier but improved communication with contractors.
“Having such an accurate site plan has improved our communications with our contractors and vendors, resulting in a really smooth pre-event setup.”
Central Highlands Council Credits OnePlan’s Customer Support for Event Success
With any software – and especially when planning an event, timely support is critical. Nadine Cove, Events Officer for Central Highlands Council, praises OnePlan’s customer service for its dedication and problem-solving skills, helping her navigate last-minute challenges.
“OnePlan’s support team and onboarding process ensured that our event had a seamless and well-thought-out layout.”
City Parklands Team UsesOnePlan for Better Planning Flexibility
The team at City Parklands emphasizes OnePlan’s flexibility in allowing base plans to be uploaded when satellite imagery is obstructed by trees or foliage. OnePlan’s user-friendly interface and cost-effective pricing have made it a go-to tool for their event planning.
“The ability to upload base plans to the platform is a great feature, especially when foliage blocks a site in satellite view.”
City of Greater Dandenong Boosts Accuracy with OnePlan’s Measuring Tools
For Patrick Mageean, Festivals and Events Officer at the City of Greater Dandenong, OnePlan’s measuring tool has been a vital addition. It has reduced the need for frequent site visits and reliance on outdated or inaccurate maps, making event preparation more efficient.
“OnePlan’s measuring tool has been invaluable. It saved us from making numerous site visits or using inaccurate maps.”
North Australia Festival of the Arts Chooses OnePlan for Updated Mapping and GIS Capabilities
Lachlan Welsh, Festival Director for the North Australia Festival of the Arts (NAFA), appreciates how OnePlan’s HD maps outperform even his city’s planning and GIS mapping systems. With real-time updates and accurate representations of site layouts, Lachlan can plan large-scale events with more precision than ever before.
“The festival is run by Townsville City Council, so I have access to a lot of the city’s planning and GIS mapping systems, but even that is older than what I can get through the HD maps in OnePlan,”
Whether it’s saving time, improving communication with stakeholders, or offering cutting-edge mapping capabilities, OnePlan is transforming how public sector teams approach event planning.
