Coaching Permits

Strathfield Council values Hudson Park Driving Range as both a community space and a professional facility. To maintain a fair balance between public access and coaching, a limited number of coaching permits are issued each financial year.

 

Key Information

Permit Cap
A maximum of five (5) coaching permits are issued each financial year. Applications are assessed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Waiting List
Once the cap is reached, eligible applicants will be added to a waiting list and notified in due course should a spot become available.

Renewals
Permits are not automatically renewed. Existing permit holders will be invited to reapply prior to expiry. All available permits will be publicly advertised to ensure a fair and transparent process. Reapplications will be assessed alongside new applications.
