About reserve access permits
You need an access permit for works on Council owned or managed land. This includes:
- active recreation reserves (parks and reserves)
- bushland reserves
- road reserves.
Reserve Access Bond
You may need to pay a bond. This is refundable if works are completed as per the permit.
If you wish your bond to be refunded by EFT (Electric Funds Transfer) you need to complete a Reserve Access EFT Refund of Bond form.
You must submit this with the Council Reserve Access application.
Application process
You must complete a form and send it to Council.
The form is available online, however payments and bond can only be paid at the counter. This permit has not been made available with online payment due to the number involved and the amount approved for access.
