Parks and reserves are public areas and access to all areas by the public must be maintained.

Not-for-profit organisations or charities that derive no income or raise any funds from holding an activity that specifically promotes physical activity and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are exempt from park hire fees - subject to assessment by Council staff.

 

Waiving of Park Hire Fees

Council will waive park hire fees for all:

• not-for-profit organisations conducting public community events on Council owned and managed land; and
• not-for-profit and commercial organisations receiving Council sponsorship funding and conducting public community events on Council owned and managed land.

The waiving of fees excludes fees associated with additional costs such as electricity, waste and cleaning services, additional infrastructure or administration. This does not include community events held in Council buildings, which have additional financial and risk implications.
