Temporary commercial use of parks
Council supports a range of temporary commercial uses to activate our parks and help create vibrant places and livable communities.
This includes activities such as:
- Personal fitness training and coaching programs.
- Mobile food and beverage vehicles.
- Hire of recreation equipment (watercraft, bikes, scooters).
- Entertainment (busking, face painting, magicians, jumping castles, mobile animal petting and entertainers for small events and celebrations).
- Tourist-based activities (canoe and kayak tours).
Where the State owns the park, Council is required to seek State approval to use the land for these 'secondary' purposes. Council does this through a Land Management Plan.
Have your say on the Draft Land Management Plan and the State owned parks and open spaces identified for potential temporary commercial use.
