Wyndham City Council recognises that adequate controls need to be established and enforced to ensure that public safety is not compromised and that pedestrians can move freely along a footpath.
Council’s General Local Law No. 11 prohibits items being placed on the footpath unless a permit has been granted. A permit will allow for items to be placed on the footpath provided business operators comply with conditions of use. Permits are valid for a 12 month period.
Applicants will be required to submit an application, the permit fee, a site plan detailing the proposal and evidence of current public liability insurance.
A permit will grant limited rights to business operators to place items on the footpath such as tables and chairs, A-frame signs and goods displays and to use that public space for business and commercial purposes.
