Canterbury-Bankstown Council - Public BBQ Rules & Facilities in New South Wales

Canterbury-Bankstown has BBQs at Beaman Park, Garrison Point (Georges River), and other locations.

While many parks allow portable BBQs, policies vary between councils. Most councils:

Restrict or ban charcoal BBQs in public spaces due to fire risk and cleanup concerns
May restrict gas BBQs during total fire ban days or high fire danger periods
Require BBQs to be elevated off the ground (not directly on grass) and attended at all times when in use
Expect you to clean up completely after use

Please check with Canterbury-Bankstown for their specific policy. For general advice, see our guide: Can I bring my own BBQ to a park or beach?
