Public Exhibition: Draft Local Approvals Policy

Council has endorsed the Draft Local Approvals Policy – Use of Public Land (Draft Policy) for the purpose of public exhibition for a minimum of 28 days.

Public land use policies can impact local residents, businesses, and community organisations. Consulting with the community allows the council to identify potential impacts to be considered during the policy development, thereby mitigating any unintended consequences.

Background

The Draft Policy establishes a comprehensive framework for determining the suitability of groups and individuals to occupy Council-owned and managed land under Section 68 of the Local Government Act.

The Draft Policy aims to protect the public interest including the protection of the environment, public health and any items of cultural significance while allowing for diverse community activities.

Permits available under the Policy include:

• Application to Place Waste Skip Bin on Roadway
• Business Use of Footpath Application
• External Event Application Form
• Film Production Application for Approval
• Fundraising Application
• Road Lane and Footpath Closure application
• Road/Footpath Opening Permit Form
• Stormwater Drainage Application
• Temporary Food Premises Application Form
• Temporary Stalls Application (Not Food Related)
