Project Purpose

Bayside Council supports a vibrant and diverse range of entertainment options in our community. We’re excited to introduce our first Circus Policy, designed to ensure that any circus operating on Council land meets all relevant laws and follows ethical and safety standards.

This includes a strong commitment to animal welfare — exotic animals will not be permitted. The policy sets out clear guidelines for how circuses can be approved, managed, and operated in the Bayside Local Government Area (LGA), with a focus on health, safety, and responsible entertainment.
