Residents or third parties may at times require access to Council's land, especially if their property shares a boundary with a Council reserve.
Apply for access
To apply for access to Council land, call 1300 88 22 33 to receive an information pack and application form. Please note an application fee and bond will need to be paid. View our fees and charges page for more information.
The process can take up to 14 working days, as it requires a number of Council service areas to assess the application.
Dependent on seasonal conditions and type of works, there may be limitations on what Council can approve. From May to October, a permit will only be granted for emergency purposes due to wetter ground conditions and the higher likelihood of damage to the Council reserve or Council property. In environmentally sensitive areas, access may not be allowed at all.
Access approval
If the application is approved, you will need to pay:
- an application fee
- a bond
- a key deposit if applicable.
