Parks vehicle access
Vehicle access is not generally available in Brisbane City Council parks, but may be negotiated at Council's discretion for vehicles delivering equipment.
Wedding vehicles are not permitted to be driven into Council parkland.
A security bond may apply for any vehicle requiring access into parkland. If your vehicle causes damage to the parkland, Council may keep part or all of the security bond to fix the damage.
