Displaying goods outside your business can encourage customers to come inside. You will need to apply for a permit to display your goods on roads, footpaths, reserves and public land. These goods might include:
- whitegoods
- clothing racks
- goods for hire, such as paddleboards
- fruit stands
- florist displays
- bicycles.
Council regulates the display of goods to make sure businesses operate safely and are considerate to other people using public spaces.
You need to submit your application at least eight weeks before you will be displaying goods. Once all supporting documents have been provided, your application will be reviewed and assessed under Local Law No 1 (Administration) 2011. Schedule 8(d).
We may consult with key stakeholders. It may take up to 30 business days from assessment to decision once all supporting documents have been provided.
