Renew your footpath trading permit

If you hold a footpath trading permit and wish to renew it, you must do so before it expires.

This permit is needed for businesses that want to use footpaths for commercial activities. This can include using a footpath to:

  • place tables and chairs
  • display goods for sale
  • place A-frame signage.

Footpaths less than 2.5 metres wide can't be used for footpath trading.

Your footpath trading permit's expiry date is based on the duration of your public liability insurance. The expiry date is displayed on your current permit.  A renewal letter and/or email will be sent current permit holders two to three weeks before the permit is due to expire.

You must submit a new copy of your public liability insurance with your renewal application.

Calculate your permit renewal fee

The fee you need to pay depends on how you plan to use the footpath.

  • A-frame sign: $94.30
  • up to two tables: $108.45
  • three or more tables: $180.75
  • goods displayed per m2: $54.20

For good displayed, please specify the exact square metreage on your application form, along with appropriate payment.
