NOTICE OF LOCAL PLANNING POLICY ADOPTION

                             TRADING IN PUBLIC PLACES

                        Planning and Development Act 2005

At the 24 February Council meeting, the Trading in Public Places – Local Planning Policy, was finally adopted.

The Trading in Public Places policy has been developed to outline conditions of trade and applies to the following:

1.             Individual traders, trading at dedicated public places (fixed location traders)

2.             Alfresco dining – existing food premises who wish to extend their service area onto the adjacent footpath in front of their premises

3.             Market traders - stalls operating at a market (covered by the market operator’s licence and/or registered under the provisions of the Food Act 2008)

Additionally, the policy aims to foster community confidence by ensuring a transparent and thorough decision-making process.
