Allocation process

The following are considered by Bayside Council when allocating fields and/or facilities:

• All outstanding fees and charges must be paid for a club to be eligible for allocation of fields and/or facilities
• priority for allocation will be given to:
  • locally based clubs and sporting organisations that focus on:
  • grass roots participation
  • promoting, enabling and supporting participation from our diverse Bayside community, like women  
  • returning clubs and sporting organisations
  • traditional winter sports 
• a growing population and higher demand for our fields and facilities creates challenges in approving booking requests. Some facilities will also be unavailable due to redevelopment and/or improvement works, decreasing the available fields and facilities.
• Bayside council retains the right to:
  • approve all or some of the bookings requested
  • adjust booking dates, locations, and times in consultation with the applicant
  • approve shared or casual use of seasonally allocated fields and facilities

Contact sport.recreation@bayside.nsw.gov.au if you have any questions, or if you need help submitting your seasonal request.
