Apply for a hoarding permit for street occupation

  • You need to apply for a hoarding permit (street occupancy) when part of a public access way or Council property requires fencing off for proposed building works. 
  • Hoardings and barricades are used around building sites to keep members of the public safe and to secure buildings sites when they are unattended.
  • A hoarding permit may still be required even if a building permit is not required.
  • Closing part of a footpath for painting.
  • Putting up signage.
  • Machinery being used on the footpath or Council property.
  • Any building work or materials placed on Council land.
