Footpath, including hoardings & footpath seating

If you would like to make use of footpath as part of building works, for outdoor seating or signage, you will need a permit from Council.

Planting a footpath garden
You can apply to plant a footpath garden at the same time that you submit your Development Application. Planting a footpath garden is optional, but you must have Council consent first.

Hoardings & storage on Council’s footpath application
If your construction requires the erection of a hoarding over or the storage of building materials on a council footpath, you must first get approval.

Application for road / footpath opening permits
A Road Opening Permit is required to dig up a road, footpath or nature strip.

Footpath seating application (outdoor dining)
If you wish to provide outdoor seating for a restaurant or café on the road reserve, you must submit an application under the Roads Act 1993.
