RESIDENTS are being asked to have their say on Broken Hill City Council’s Footway Restaurant Policy.
Footway cafes make a significant contribution to the quality of public places and urban life.
They contribute to active vibrant streets with opportunities for economic activity, social interaction and leisure.
Due to this, BHCC resolved, at its ordinary council meeting held on March 26, to place the Draft Footway Restaurant Settings Policy on public exhibition for 28 days.
The document is council’s Footway Dining Policy and provides information for the public and for applicants seeking to use the footway for dining.
The procedure has been developed internally along with procedures that are required under legislation and provide guidance for council in determining applications.
Council is responsible for assessment and approval of footway dining activities on any public land (including Public Roads) in the Broken Hill City Council local government area that is owned or under the care, control and management of council.
This particularly applies to footpath areas adjacent to public roads situated within the town and neighbourhood centres in the city.
Public exhibition commenced on March 28 and will conclude on April 26.
Council will accept submissions on the draft policy up until midnight on the final day.
Written submissions regarding council’s draft policies should be addressed to the general manager and forwarded via email to council@brokenhill.nsw.gov.au or by mail to the PO Box 448, Broken Hill.
