Filming Approvals
The Cessnock LGA is a great filming location.
With so many picturesque rural scenes in the Hunter Valley, it lends itself to being the perfect backdrop for a wide variety of filming needs.
The logistical advantages of affordable accommodation, less traffic and proximity to Sydney and Newcastle for talent, make it a clear winner for a filming location for many types of projects.
This video quickly takes you through what is involved in applying for a filming license and when one is needed.
No license is required for:
- Still photography
- Wedding videography
- News filming
- Filming on private property (with permission)
- Events (if the video is for the event participants)
For anything else, a license is required and should be lodged 21 days before your first shoot day at a minimum.
This video will help you understand what is required to lodge the application.
