Council recognises the value to community groups and the broader community of the opportunity to use Council footpaths and other public land for fund raising, information provision, entertainment and services.

This policy aims to establish the circumstances under which approvals may be granted for certain activities on public roads (including footpaths) and public car parks within the Snowy Valleys Council Local Government Area.

The valuable contribution street activity can make to the local culture and economy is widely recognised. Elements of street activity in the form of special events, street trading and busking can add to the richness of a vibrant street environment and contribute to an innate sense of safety and security for users.

The draft Street Activity Policy provides the framework for appropriate street activity within the Snowy Valleys, while acknowledging that in a mixed use environment, this activity must be carefully managed for equity and fairness to all and to protect the town amenity and heritage.
