COVID-19 restrictions
Fitness trainers with a licence to train on Council land must comply with the current NSW Guidelines and restrictions in relation to COVID-19 as and when they change.
Currently this limits the number of persons permitted to engage in such activities.
Commercial Trainers and outdoor fitness groups need to get a licence from Council to use public spaces for their activities.
Licences are available for small or large groups at more than 25 locations along our coast.
Note that Council does not endorse any trainer or training method.
See our Commercial Fitness Training Activities on Public Open Space Policy PDF, 135.74 KB for more details about how Council manages outdoor fitness training.
Areas where commercial fitness training licences can be issued are shown in the maps section of this page.
You can apply only for spaces that don't already have a licence issued. See the current licences section of this page for details of which areas are already licensed.
