Conditions for fitness classes

• At all times the operator must conduct the activities in a manner that does not adversely affect the environment, any other user(s), and private residents or businesses.
• Activities should generally be conducted between 5am and 10pm.
• There may be a maximum number of participants in each class. This will be dictated by the specific location characteristics.
• Ensure participants do not step on, or walk on, or in any other way inappropriately use the Council’s furniture, structures, public art works, shrines, or memorials.
• Ensure activities do not dominate, monopolise, and/or obstruct any stairways or pathways.
• Ensure any area used is left clean after each use and/or in the same condition it was at the commencement of use.
• The operator shall cover the costs of any damage caused to the Council’s assets and/or any cleaning required as a direct result of the training activity.
• Any equipment used must be portable by hand and free standing at all times, for example, equipment must not be pegged into the ground or hung from trees.
• All vehicles belonging to or associated with the operator must use only designated car park facilities unless otherwise agreed with the relevant Council business unit.
• No advertising material such as signs, ‘A’ frames or banners are permitted to be used to promote the activity.
• The exception to this is a single sign that indicates a session is in progress. These signs must be free-standing, not attached to any Council fixture or trees, and not block public access to different spaces.
• The Council reserves the right to restrict the handing out of promotional material such as flyers and brochures.

• The activity must run for no longer than 90 minutes, including set up and pack down.
• The operator does not have exclusive use of any area at any time.
• This means they can only use any area while a session is in use, cannot set up any semi permanent space, and must take all equipment away from any open space when a session is not in-progress.
• If there are members of the public in the area when the operator sets up and the class is unable to move location, the operator needs to give them at least ten minutes notice to vacate the site.
• The Council may, at its discretion, instruct an operator to relocate their activity.
• Wear and tear on grassed areas or tracks must be minimised. This includes avoiding wet and boggy areas, rotating activity within an area and/or alternating activities, if more than one.

Large gym equipment or anything that attaches to any park fixture or trees, for example, weight benches, weight stacks, stationary bikes, punching/boxing bags, treadmills, steppers, whistles and megaphones, is prohibited.
