Kids party in a park

Yep, check your council.

Some have lots of restrictions and rules, and you have to book and pay and sign stuff and get insurance and whatever.

Other councils seem to be much more relaxed.

An acquaintance was going to have a party at a local park until she read what she had to agree to, and the list of things she couldn't do (couldn't make any holes in the ground (so couldn't use a mini marquee etc), consequences if there was any litter, etc.

I'm not sure if she had to get approval based on how many people they were expecting though ... ? Because surely if it was a small gathering you couldn't need to book (eg: if you were having playgroup there, you wouldn't book!).

Just contact the council, and find out.

I had my sons birthday party in a park with jumping castle. I did need permit which cost around $35-40 and had to hire generator for the jumping castle as there was no power. Also had the problem of random kids pushing the party kids off the castle and I was to be responsible for all damage

Back2insanity just thought I should clarify my "like" was for your information not for what happened! Lol

That's what I was worried about.
