The Council has several state-of-the-art sporting fields that cater to a variety of sports, including rugby league, softball, and cricket. They are available for schools to use for sporting events. This includes cross country, interschool sports, district sports, and term sports.
Schools wishing to use a Council sports field will need to apply for approval. Council regulates these activities to ensure they are carried out safely.
The criteria for submitting a school sports activity permit are:
- less than 499 people
- does not need vehicle access to the sports field
- does not need access to Council’s electricity or water supply
- no amusement devices
- no traffic management or parking restrictions
- uses permitted structures only:
- up to 2 marquees, where each marquee does not exceed 3 metres by 6 metres in size
- is weighted according to the manufacturer’s instructions
- is not pegged or staked into the ground.
If your activity does not meet the above criteria, you will need to submit an events application.
