Street activities permit

If you wish to conduct activities in the street, like operate a street stall (ie. cake stalls, raffle tickets, sausage sizzles etc), conduct road collections or display a banner, you will need a permit.

Whilst these activities can bring enjoyment to the community, they need to be assessed to ensure their impact is positive and that they complement other activities occurring at the same time.

Please ensure you familiarise yourselves with the conditions of the permit before you apply.

Our public liability insurance will cover not-for-profit, community groups and individuals as long as a valid permit is held. However if a claim needs to be made, you will need to pay the excess.


Please refer to the below fees and charges.
