Hornsby Council

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 Hornsby for their specific policy. For general advice, see our guide: Can I bring my own BBQ to a park or beach?
