Outdoor Eating

To use the footpath as an outdoor dining area for your patrons, you need to get approval from Council.

You need to request outdoor dining approval to use the footpath as an outdoor dining area for your patrons. 

Read the Outdoor Dining Policy and Guidelines(PDF, 502KB) for assistance in preparing your application and setting up safe and unobtrusive furniture for your diners.

Any business that does not have the appropriate approval is at risk of receiving an infringement notice. Repeated non-compliance will result in further action. 

Apply for an outdoor dining licence.

You can report a business who you believe does not have approval.

When making a report, please include the location and photographic evidence.
