What you need to know
Parklets are one way that Council is supporting our local businesses and community to thrive together, through innovative use of the road reserve and expanded Footpath Trading guidelines.
What is a parklet?
Parklets are car park spaces transformed into safe places to meet, eat and relax, usually outside hospitality businesses who pay a fee to expand their trading space.
Council supports traders and stakeholders to work together to share public spaces where practicable to achieve equitable outcomes.
