Development applications submitted for awnings for outdoor dining on Councils pavement will be the subject of a merit assessment and will only be approved by Council. Safety is paramount and awnings will be considered subject to the structure being assessed as safe by an independent structural engineer if deemed necessary. A road safety audit will be required if outdoor dining is to be considered for approval close to street intersections and or pedestrian crossings. Awning will also be considered on aesthetic grounds including the relationship of the proposed structure to nearby heritage buildings, scale and the appropriateness to the streetscape/ general locale. |
