Outdoor dining on council road verge

If you would like your customers to dine outside on land owned by council or if you are a retail business wanting to display goods for sale on the footpath or land owned by council, you will need a permit.

To make the process of obtaining a permit easier, council has pre-assessed mainstreet areas within the city and have identified locations where outdoor dining and footpath trading is possible without requiring a traffic assessment.

Please allow up to 4 weeks for the request to be considered.

We aim to support all requests, however in some instances the proposed activity may not be deemed appropriate and therefore may not be approved.

How to apply

Step 1.Read the guidelines

Outdoor Dining and Footpath Trading Guidelines(PDF, 2MB).

Step 2.Check the pre-approved mainstreet areas to see if you need a traffic assessment

If your business is green on the map, outdoor dining and/or footpath trading is possible. Please continue with your application.

If your business is red or orange on the map, outdoor dining and/or footpath trading may be possible, however a further traffic assessment may be required.
