Frequent use permits (fitness trainers, picnic companies)
If you wish to use council’s parks and reserves on a regular basis, you may require a frequent use permit with council.
Fitness training permits
Outdoor fitness and exercise is very popular in our region.
All parks, reserves, foreshores, and gardens are an available resource to the local community. It is therefore important that all activities undertaken during a training session does 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 to obtain a fitness training permit.
An application for each trainer and the 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 the public open spaces for fitness training activities strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of the fitness training permit. Any breach of these terms and conditions may 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 and CPR Certificate
- Professional Trainer Registration with Fitness Australia or equivalent body
