Street trading

Street trading includes selling, hiring, or gifting goods or services, as well as displaying goods for sale, and 'street fundraising'. All street traders must hold a valid permit. 

Owners of businesses based in the City may display goods on the footpath immediately adjacent to their shop, once they have secured a free local business display permit.
