Naomi Oakley was a police officer for 12 years before starting a business called Party Safe, which provides private security for parties.

"In my [police] job, many of the incidents I attended were domestics or out-of-control parties. It was quite scary, it was the unknown."

After running her business for more than three years, Ms Oakley has seen and heard all the party horror stories and believes there should be laws to make parties safer in Victoria.

Ms Oakley has prepared a submission calling on the state government to make it law that all parties for people aged 15-23 require a council permit.

She proposes that permits be granted only if a number of conditions are met, such as registering a party with the police 28 days in advance, nominating what time it would end, and

having at least one adult for every 20 guests for groups aged up to 21.

"Having a more organised approach will mean that the emergency services won't have to come and clean up the mess."

Melton Council corporate services general manager Kel Tori said he would have serious concerns with the policing of this proposal becoming a council responsibility.

"Council works proactively with police through a number of initiatives such as the police community consultative committee to achieve positive community outcomes."

A 19-year-old man was stabbed in the neck outside an 18th birthday party in Melton South in late January.

The party was held at the Blackwood Drive Scout Hall about 12.15am and police said about 120 invited guests were at the party, with a crowd of 200 to 300 people milling outside when trouble broke out. The party had been advertised on Facebook.

Inspector Greg Payne, of Melton police, welcomed any initiative that improved safety at parties. He said it was a requirement that parties held in council buildings be registered with the local police, who would contact the party organisers during the night or make a visit to check how it was going.

Inspector Payne urged people not to post party details on Facebook, and guests should not send out the party address via text message.
