Sportsfield Information, Ground Closures and Bookings

Sportsfield Bookings

Tweed Shire Council allows the hire of all our Sports fields to sporting groups, dependant on availability. The majority of Council’s Sports fields are under a seasonal licence agreement with local sports clubs. However these can be used by the general public outside of the agreed licenced hours.

Please refer to the Sports Field Procudures (179kB PDF) for information on timeframes and how to apply for a sports field and the responsibilities of each user group.
