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.
