We support the use of locations in the City of Clarence to be used for film and photo shoots.

Filming/photography permits

We regulate filming and photography permits to ensure that activities are conducted according to our safety and amenity regulations, and to minimise interruptions to residents and businesses.

You will require a permit if you are using a street, park, mall, carpark, roadway, cycleway or other public areas within the City of Clarence local government area to film or take photos of a commercial nature.

A permit is not required if you are filming on private property, however, if it impacts any of the above, you will need to obtain a permit from us.

Additional documentation may be required if drones are used as part of your filming application and please view the fees webpage for information on permit costs.
