We are seeking your feedback on the Draft Street Parklet Program Local Approvals Policy and Guidelines.

Council has reviewed the Policy and the Guidelines and no changes have been made to it. This public exhibition was endorsed at the Council meeting on Tuesday 16 September 2025 (see Item 7.3, page 3).

Background

City of Canterbury Bankstown (Council) supports and encourages outdoor dining as a way of creating vibrant streetscapes and creating opportunities for businesses to grow and prosper. It strengthens local shopping precincts and supports businesses to improve amenity for residents and visitors. Council is committed to activating business centres in Canterbury-Bankstown and supports the individual expression of each business to help develop a sense of place.

About the Policy and Guidelines

The Street Parklet Program Local Approvals Policy and Guidelines enable food and drink vendors to apply to use the parklet in front of their business for trading. To be eligible, they must meet certain rules and provide documents that show their safety plan, design and trading hours.

The Policy and Guidelines are aligned to the Prosperous and Innovative destination of the CBCity 2036 Community Strategic Plan that supports a smart and evolving City with exciting opportunities for investment and creativity.
