Filming and Photography

Deniliquin and the Edward River region is a film-friendly location. We balance public safety and the local amenity of residents and businesses with your filming or photography requirements. Find out how to apply.

How to Apply

To conduct a commercial shoot in Edward River region, you must have a film/photography permit issued by Council.

Edward River Council supports the Local Government Filming Protocol for location filming in NSW and is responsible for issuing licence agreements for filming and photography activities. All requirements of the Protocol must be met before a licence is issued and the activity is approved.

Amateur photographers are not required to pay a fee or gain a permit to photograph unless it involves additional activity such as blocking streets, constructing a set or additional parking. The Protocol provides guidance in processing high impart stills shoots.

To apply for a licence, email tourism@edwardriver.nsw.gov.au and request a film and photography application.

A filming permit ensures your activity is conducted in accordance with our local laws, road laws and State laws, It also ensures that any disruptions to residents and businesses are minimal and parties that may be impacted are notified.
