Trading in Public Places

The Shire supports stalls and trading as an enterprising activity that contributes to the wellbeing and benefit of residents and experience of visitors to the region.

The Shire encourages a high standard of service delivery whilst also supporting local economic development and commercial viability.

An itinerant trader application is for a trader who trades from a vehicle on public roads, stopping in various locations only long enough to conduct a sale. An itinerant trader may be a food or non-food trader (An example is a mobile ice cream van).

A general Trading in Public Places Permit is for nominated location/s and time slots mutually agreed upon between the vendor and the Shire often in consultation with other government departments. 

These can be semi- permanent locations and offer more stability for the vendor by paying an annual registration for the locations.  These can be food or non-food traders also. 

Should you wish to provide any goods and services for sale or hire, approvals must be obtained from the Shire. We operate a strict policing process to ensure that all goods and services remain safe and conditions of approval are adhered to.
