About Perth BBQ Facilities

The City of Perth manages 16 major parkland areas and many smaller parks covering 140 hectares. The Swan River foreshore parklands form a 10 kilometre natural boundary for the City.

Can I bring my own BBQ to parks in Perth?

During Total Fire Bans in Western Australia:

  • Gas BBQs with enclosed flames are permitted (clear 5m around BBQ)
