Council requires permits to be held by individuals, groups or businesses for some activities that require the use of public land.
Public land includes reserves, parks and gardens, roads, carparks, riverbanks and road related areas.
Council will strive to ensure that activities that promote a sense of vibrancy and local attraction within the community do so without negatively impacting on the general public or the environment.
In order for us to consider your request, complete the relevant application form and email to alex@alexandrina.sa.gov.au or alternatively please email us at this address if you have any further queries.
For more information, contact Council on (08) 8555 7000.
General Use Permits
Commercial Permits
Council issues permits for permanent, stationary or short-term commercial activities on Council roads, footpaths and verges to ensure the appropriate management of such activities. Council recognises the need of legitimate practices to undertake activities on public roads.
Council will strive to ensure that activities that promote a sense of vibrancy and local attraction do not impede or create adverse impacts on users.
Annual permits are available.
Roads and Traffic Permits
A person (other than the council or a person acting under some other statutory authority) must not make an alteration to a public road unless authorised to do so by the council.
Council will ensure an appropriate and consistent balance in the provision of access to private land, public land and road related areas for personal, business and community activities, whilst ensuring works undertaken do not unreasonably restrict general public use, cause damage to the road or negatively impact on the amenity of the road or road surface.
