Outdoor personal training and group fitness activities are very popular. It's a great way for our reserves and foreshore to be used to provide health benefits for our community.
Where these activities are run for a commercial gain, permission is required before starting the activity.
These activities can include:
- gym sessions (with or without weights, fit balls, skipping ropes etc)
- boxing or pad training
- organised aerobic activity
- circuit training
- walking & running
- a combination of any of the above
Permission is granted under the Local Government Act 1999 and applications are assessed in line with Council’s Use of Public Reserves for Commercial Fitness Activities Policy.
