Schools

We encourage schools to book sportsgrounds to engage and improve fitness of students. 

Schools in Cumberland City that book will receive free use of sporting facilities during school hours in school terms. However, fees are applicable for bookings that include the use of Council’s premier sporting facilities (i.e. turf wickets).

Schools located outside of Cumberland City will be charged as per the current fees and charges.

Make a school booking here.

Personal training / fitness groups

Cumberland City Council encourages exercise and activities to improve fitness of the community. Council does not recommend or endorse any trainer or training methods and accepts no responsibility for the actions of trainers.

Community members are advised that when participating in commercially provided fitness training they should ensure the operator is appropriately qualified and holds the recommended level of public liability insurance.

Where an instructor/group wishes to use Council open spaces, the below application for Public Space Permit is required to be lodged (fees apply).

Unauthorised use

All use of sportsgrounds (schools, training, competition, gatherings) which is organised or appears to be organised, must have a booking confirmation from Cumberland City Council.

If unauthorised use of grounds is observed and reported, groups without a booking confirmation, will be asked to move off grounds and provided with information regarding Council’s bookings process.
