The successful Parklet Pilot at Jan Juc’s The Beach Hotel has paved the way for Council to formalise the process to roll out the outdoor dining (parklet) initiative across the shire.

Thank you to those who submitted feedback on the draft outdoor parklet dining guidelines and proposed Community Amenity (Amendment) Local Law 2024, both endorsed at the 2024 May Council meeting.

The incorporation of outdoor dining (parklet) guidelines into the Local Law will enable Council to support parklets being installed across the shire.

Thanks to those who provided input on the draft outdoor dining (parklet) guidelines and proposed Community Amenity (Amendment) Local Law 2024 .

Submissions closed Wednesday 26 June at 5pm.

Submitters had an option to present their submission at a Special Council Meeting online on Tuesday 9 July 2024.

All submissions will be provided to councillors for their consideration at a future Council meeting.

If the guidelines are adopted and incorporated into the Local Law, hospitality businesses will be invited to express their interest in applying for a parklet. There are various requirements to meet to be eligible for a permit. These include location, design, setbacks, insurance, waste management and maintenance requirements. Parklets would be considered in conjunction with Council’s Footpath Trading Policy.
