It’s the Sunshine Coast, beautiful one day, perfect the next. No wonder so many brides have their heart set on being married here on one of our many beautiful beaches or in one of our stunning National Parks.
The beaches are free and belong to us all, but when it comes to your wedding ceremony, it’s imperative you get a permit. Of course you could not obtain a permit, just turn up on the day and hope for the best, but what if another bridal party turned up with a permit at the exact same time? Could end up a bit awkward, couldn’t it? Even worse, what if you turn up to say your oh so romantic vows in front of your nearest and dearest and it turns out there’s a surf carnival on?
The cost of a permit is $150.00, so it’s not going to put a huge dent in your wedding budget. The easiest way to do this is by visiting the Sunshine Coast Regional Council website and filling in an online application. You will then either receive a letter of approval or a phone call if there happens to be another event already booked on the date and time at your chosen location.
