Thank you to those who provided feedback on the Street Parklet Program Policy and Guidelines (Policy and Guidelines).

The draft Street Parklet Program Policy and Guidelines (Policy and Guidelines) provide a framework for Council’s management of the commercial use of street parklets. It also establishes the licensing criteria for businesses that apply to use street parklets for additional outdoor dining.

The Policy and Guidelines includes:

1. Eligibility requirements and an outline of the assessment criteria:
   • Be a food/drink business such as a café, restaurant or bar
   • Hold an existing consent to operate as a food or drink premise and/or hold a liquor license
   • Proposed installation of parklet must be directly adjoining their business
   • Have written support by neighbouring businesses
2. The process for seeking approval:
   • This will be annual Expression of Interest
3. An outline of the application process and provide:
   • Site plan
   • Cross section drawing
   • Supporting documentation outlining the proposed parklet structure and location
   • Traffic Guidance Scheme/Traffic Control Plan
   • Relevant insurances
   • Plan of management
4. Parklet fees and charges:
   • Proposed fees to be consistent with Commercial Use of Footways
5. Information on the responsibilities for the cost, installation and maintenance of a parklet.

The Street Parklet Program Policy and Guidelines was endorsed and adopted by Council at the 27 February 2024 Ordinary Meeting. See Agenda/Minutes, item 6.2.

An Expression of Interest for parklets will commence as set out in the Policy and Guideline
