Commercial Occupation of Footpaths Carparks and Parking Squares Policy

The purpose of this policy document is to provide a framework for decision making on the current management and future allocation of commercial activities on footpaths, carparks, and parking squares.

A balance is needed between the rights of the inner city commercial sector, the retention of open space, and establishment of trading sites. Where trading is allowed within the city, standards and conditions of occupation are recommended and appended to this policy. This policy does not cover transient trading activities such as busking, hawking and itinerant trading.
