The Alexandrina Council is committed to effectively managing the use of public reserves and road related areas. Personal and group fitness training is a fast growing segment of the Fitness Industry and there has been an increasing demand for commercial fitness activities to take place on public reserves or road related areas by commercially operated businesses.
Community Land including public reserves and road related areas (footpaths) is primarily for community use. Any commercial use of community land for fitness activities will be assessed to ensure it does not disadvantage public users.
Commercial Fitness Activities to which this application applies includes:
- Gym sessions (with or without weights and other fitness equipment)
- boxing or pad training (with or without weights and other fitness equipment)
- Organised Aerobic activity (with or without weights and other fitness equipment)
- Circuit training, walking and running (with or without weights and other fitness equipment)
Annual permits are available.
Fees
Alexandrina Council charges an annual fee for use of community land for business use, including Commercial Fitness Activities. Fees payable will be in accordance with Council’s Schedule of Fees and Charges.
Permit Application forms are required to be lodged with Council a minimum of twenty one (21) business days in advance of the activity unless otherwise negotiated with Council.
