Outdoor Furniture
No outdoor furniture including tables, chairs and display cabinets, can be placed on Council footpaths until social restrictions are further eased, and Council permits.  This will ensure there are no obstructions on Council’s footpath that may prevent the community from maintaining safe social distancing. If you require any further advice please contact the City Compliance Department on 9249 4000.
