- Health & Fitness Training (Commercial)
Health & Fitness Training (Commercial)
Any health & fitness activities that are organised or for commercial gain are governed by Council’s Commercial Fitness Policy which covers all open space areas in Waverley’s Local Government area.
Having the commercial fitness trainers’ application and permit system in place helps Council to manage the following things:
- Equity of use – such as potential conflict with displaced users, management of demand, domination and monopolisation of areas and perception of exploitation of public land by commercial operators
- Impact on the asset – Fitness training in groups causing wear-and-tear to open spaces
- Public liability concerns – such as trainers with insufficient insurance.
What type of permit do I apply for?
Depending on the number of people you intend to train at any one time, you will need to decide what category of permit to apply for:
Category 1- 1 to 2 participants, no fixed location, no equipment
Category 2- 1 to 6 participants, fixed location, with equipment
Category 3- 7 to 12 participants, fixed location, with equipment
Category 4- 13 to 20 participants, fixed location, with equipment
The table below sets out the maximum group size permitted in each location.
