Most public BBQ facilities operate on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be booked for exclusive use.

However, you may need council approval or a booking for:

• Large groups (typically 50+ people)
• Events or functions that require exclusive park use
• Setting up gazebos, marquees, or temporary structures
• Commercial activities or fundraising events

Contact Belmont directly for information about permits, bookings, and large event requirements.

If you encounter issues with a BBQ facility, please report them to Belmont. Common issues include:

• BBQ not working - not heating, ignition problems, gas issues
• Damaged facilities - broken hotplates, damaged tables/shelters
• Safety hazards - exposed wiring, structural damage
• Cleanliness issues - excessive grease buildup, vandalism

Report faults directly to Belmont via their website or customer service line. Quick reporting helps keep facilities safe and functional for everyone.
