Footpath Trading Guidelines
The City of Port Phillip is currently undertaking a review of out Footpath Trading Guidelines.
Our aim is to ensure that we continue to provide an excellent environment for local business to trade on the footpath whilst maintaining the highest quality standards for the use of public space for the wider community
The footpaths within our community are used by a variety of people including shoppers, tourists, locals, elderly citizens, children, those with special needs, pet owners and young families. Whilst our footpaths cater for a diverse range of needs, Council's primary commitment is to ensure they provide unobstructed and safe passage for pedestrians of all abilities.
We are now seeking your views on footpath trading in your community.
- What are your issues or concerns?
- How can footpath trading be improved?
- What opportunities are there to improve the level of service Council can provide for footpath trading permit holders?
Please take the time to fill in the feedback survey to provide us with your thoughts.
The survey is available at www.surveymonkey.com. This will take approximately 5 minutes of your time. All feedback is due by the 24th October 2008.
For further information about the Footpath Trading Review please contact Stav Athanasopoulos on 9209 6852.
