Public access to Council's parks and reserves is free. However, sometimes people may wish to use a park for a social gathering or special event, such as a wedding ceremony, birthday party or family reunion.

A permit is required for groups of sixty (60) persons or more who wish to have a social gathering in a park or reserve.
