Brisbane's public open spaces provide visual, ecological, recreational, heritage and cultural amenity to benefit the people of Brisbane and make our city liveable.
The Public Land and Council Assets Local Law 2014regulates park use and provides the basis for Council to activate our parks and enable residents to enjoy these valuable public open spaces.

Several parks across Brisbane have been chosen to include designated areas for launching and landing drones and other remotely piloted aircraft. Find out more about launching and landing drones in Brisbane.
Events that are expected to attract 1000 or more people may require an event permit. Find out how to apply and the fees payable.
If you plan to film in a public place for student or commercial purposes, including Council parks, you'll need to apply for Filming consent.
If you're a personal trainer or other commercial health, well-being or life skills operator wanting to conduct your activities in a Council park, you'll need consent from Council.
To activate our public open spaces and grow local business, Council supports a range of commercial activities in parks that improve visitor experience and benefit the community, such as personal training and other health, well-being and life skills classes, recreation equipment hire and tours, festivals, markets, food stalls and mobile food vendors, fun runs and other sport and leisure activities. Council regulates these commercial activities to ensure public health and safety, and fair and equitable use of public park spaces.
