Footpath Restaurants

Council is seeking feedback on its Footpath Restaurants Policy.

Council adopted the Policy “Footpath Restaurants” at its meeting held 2 October 2019.  The aim of the Policy is to establish guidelines for the commercial use of public footpaths for outdoor dining.  

It is proposed the Policy be amended to include:  

  1. updating applicable legislation;  
  2. updating terminology used;  
  3. providing an option to renew the approval for a two year period.  Currently the Policy provides for a one year approval.  

The draft Footpath Restaurants Policy is provided in the document library and is on public exhibition from 2 October 2023 to 31 October 2023.
