Draft Policy - Roadside Stalls and Street Vending

Recently the NSW Government introduced a suite of legislative changes to streamline the approval process for a variety of agritourism activities including farm stay accommodation, farm gate premises and roadside stalls.  

Given the recent legislative changes, it has become necessary for Council to review its existing Street Vending and Sale of Fruit and Produce from Orchards and Market Gardens Policy.  

A new Policy, to be known as the Roadside Stalls and Street Vending Policy introduces new definitions, acknowledges the new approval pathways (including exempt development) and provides development standards for the circumstances where a full Development Application is required.  

If adopted Council will repeal its existing Street Vending and Sale of Fruit and Produce from Orchards and Market Gardens Policy. 

It should be noted that the Roadside Stalls and Street Vending Policy does not deal with farm stay accommodation.

Draft Policy:

Council has placed on public exhibition a draft Policy, Roadside Stalls and Street Vending, to introduce new definitions, acknowledge the new approval pathways (including exempt development) and provide development standards for the circumstances where a full Development Application is required.  

The draft Roadside Stalls and Street Vending Policy is provided in the Document Library.  Also provided is the current Policy, Street Vending and Sale of Fruit and Produce from Orchards and Market Gardens, which will be repealed once the draft Roadside Stalls and Street Vending Policy is adopted. 

The draft Policy is on public exhibition for 28 days from 20 May 2024 to 18 June 2024.

Council invites written submissions in relation to the draft Policy. Submissions should be lodged with Council no later than 18 June 2024.
