Can I bring my own BBQ to parks in Wollongong?

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