Trading in Public Places

In most situations, you need a Council trading licence if you want to sell something in a public place for private gain.  Public places include footpaths, streets, parks and beaches.

Council policy

The rules for trading in public places are set out in the Trading in Public Places Policy 2017.

Where you can trade

Private property

Trading from private property is preferable, as long as you have permission from the property owner and there are no adverse safety or traffic impacts.

Public property

You can apply to trade on public land using the Trading in Public Place Application form.
