  • Ensure the trading site does not obstruct traffic or pedestrians.

  • Maintain cleanliness and waste management at the site.

  • Provide adequate parking and access for customers.

  • Hold current public liability insurance (minimum coverage specified by Council).

Tips for a Successful Application

  • Include clear diagrams or photos if requested.

  • Double-check that your insurance certificate is current.

  • Allow time for Council review and approval, especially during peak periods.
