Amusement Devices

Before you operate an amusement device at events (such as ferris wheels, roller coasters, dodgem cars and bumper cars) your device must be inspected and be issued a permit to operate by Council as well as a current certificate of registration issued by Worksafe.

Inflatables

Bouncy castles, inflatable slides and non-powered playground equipment are not amusement devices and do not require a permit. However, operators of these inflatable devices have duties and responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. If you are planning on operating an inflatable device, please visit Worksafe for operating requirements.

Further Information
