Commercial Activities
In this section
Commercial activities such as busking, outdoor dining, outdoor fitness boot camps in public places, where appropriate and well managed, can add character, vibrancy and visitor experience without detracting from the wider communities use of the public space. These activities can also entertain and assist in strengthening the existing function of public areas as community spaces. Public places include public roads and reserves.
However, commercial activities need to be balanced against the needs of the environment and the impact such activities may have on the general use of public areas and private properties adjacent to public areas.
