Did you Know? Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort

Did you know approval is required to set up a street stall or raffle on Council roads, footpaths or other areas?
Council has a number of locations, mainly on Queen Street, Ayr and Eighth Avenue, Home Hill, where raffles and street stalls may be held.
For information on availability of dates and locations and to receive approval, please contact Council's Customer Service Centre.
If approved a copy of your current public liability insurance to the value of $10,000,000 is to be provided to Council.
When approving the request, consideration will be made of adjacent businesses for example a stall selling cakes may not be approved near a bakery. 
If you're looking to set up a street stall in the Burdekin, there's a straightforward process to follow. Street stalls, perfect for fundraising or promoting community events, require a permit from the Burdekin Shire Council. Here’s how it works:
   • Application Form: Complete the street stall application form available on the Council's website.
   • Submission: Submit the form at least ten days prior to the proposed date.
   • Approval: The Council reviews the application, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
   • Permit Issuance: Once approved, you’ll receive a permit detailing the conditions for your stall.
Street stalls are a great way to engage with the community and promote your cause. By following the proper steps, you ensure a smooth and successful event.
For detailed guidelines and to access the application form, visit Council's Street Stalls webpage.
