Please read the Filming Guidelines before completing this form.

Approval is required for any commercial filming or photography undertaken within Wellington Park.

Applications for approval must be submitted no later than 14 business days prior to proposed filming. Application fee ($187 from 1 July 2024) and Production Crew Number loading applies. The full fee schedule is outlined in the Filming Guidelines.

• Long Term Filming Agreement holders will require a separate drone/RPA approval for each instance of drone/RPA use over the term of their agreement.
