If you want to take photographs or video footage for commercial purposes in the Botanic Garden, you will need to apply to Wollongong City Council for a permit at least 10 working days before your proposed shoot date.

Photographers will need to hold Public Liability Insurance to the value of $20 million. You will need to provide a copy of your Certificate of Currency.

Personal and family photo shoots with a professional photographer do not require a permit, payment or booking.
