Owners of dogs of a restricted breed or declared to be dangerous will be required to pay an annual permit in addition to their one-off lifetime pet registration fee. This applies to dogs that are already registered.

Exemptions will be in place for cats that are registered by 1 July 2020, cats kept for breeding purposes by members of recognised breeding bodies, and cats which cannot be desexed for medical reasons.

Parks & Reserves

Conditions for Hire of Community Land

Bookings for parks and reserves can be requested for wedding ceremonies, social/ family functions, festivals, events and commercial activities as permitted under the relevant Plan of Management for the area. Bookable sites are identified and approved after assessment by Council staff. Booking times for parks and reserves are between 7:00am and 7:00pm (hours outside of these times must be approved by Council staff).

Parks and reserves are public areas and access to all areas by the public must be maintained. Not-for-profit organisations or charities that derive no income or raise any funds from holding an activity that specifically promotes physical activity and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are exempt from park hire fees - subject to assessment by Council staff.

Council will waive park hire fees for all:

not-for-profit organisations conducting public community events on Council owned and managed land; and
not-for-profit and commercial organisations receiving Council sponsorship funding and conducting public community events on Council owned and managed land.

The waiving of fees excludes fees associated with additional costs such as electricity, waste and cleaning services, additional infrastructure or administration. This does not include community events held in Council buildings, which have additional financial and risk implications.

Not all sites have power or water available or are suitable for all activities. All bookings are assessed by Council staff prior to approval. Additional fees may apply for additional waste/recycling facilities, amenities cleaning, amusement ride inspection, post-event clean up, and other Council services.

Development involving the erection of a building, the carrying out of work or the demolition of a work or a building, and having an estimated cost within the range specified in the table below (EP&A Reg 2000, Cl 246(B)). If two or more fees are applicable to a single development application (such as an application to subdivide land and erect a building on one or more lots created by the subdivision), the maximum fee payable for the development is the sum of those fees (EP&A Reg 2000, Cl 254).

The maximum fee payable for a staged development application in relation to a site, and for any subsequent development application for any part of the site, is the maximum fee that would be payable as if a single development application only was required for all the development on the site.
