FREE permits are paving the way for a stronger future for popular parkrun events across the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay, unlocking a new chapter of nature-based experiences in locations including the Glass House Mountains, Nambour and D’Aguilar..
Making the announcement at the D’Aguilar parkrun in his home electorate last Wednesday (November 26) Environment Minister Andrew Powell said the deal “not only unlocks nature-based experiences, it strengthens that all-important community spirit”.
“This is a fantastic initiative,” he said. “Parkrun still needs permits to enter conservation or national parks, but we’ve waived the fee to get people healthy, out in the environment, and doing it responsibly.”
The arrangement with parkrun removes permit fees for not-for-profit events held in protected areas such as Nambour, Bunyaville, Coolum and D’Aguilar.
