Training permits
Fitness training permits
Outdoor fitness and exercise is very popular in our region.
All parks, reserves and gardens are an available resource to the local community. It is therefore important that all activities undertaken during a personal training session do not adversely impose on other park users.
If you are a personal trainer or wish to run a fitness group/boot camp you will need a permit to train in our parks, reserves and foreshores.
Each application approval will be valid for the current financial year, beginning July 1. Once a permit has been issued it will authorise each trainer to use public open space for fitness training activities strictly in accordance with the terms & conditions of the fitness permit. Any breach of these terms & conditions will possibly result in the session being ceased and possible cancellation of the permit.
The following supporting documentation must be provided in order to submit your application:
- Certificate of Currency for Public Liability Insurance (minimum $20m coverage)
- Current Senior First Aid Certificate
- Current CPR Certificate
- Professional Trainer Registration with Fitness Australia or equivalent body
