The permit will authorise the permit holder to use an approved portion of Local Government Land for an approved use, in accordance with all conditions of the permit, on a non-exclusive basis.
Applications for and approval of permits will be determined by Council taking a range of factors into consideration. There is no obligation on Council to approve a permit.
Permit application forms are required to be lodged with Council a minimum of 21 business days in advance of the activity unless otherwise negotiated with Council.
A By-Law Permit will be valid for a period of time/s and day/s as stipulated on the permit.
