Takeaways
- We support local restaurants and cafes by allowing seating for outdoor dining to supplement indoor seating.
- This policy sets out the circumstances and conditions under which we'll approve outdoor dining on public footpaths and in the public domain.
- To be eligible, you have to:
- be a restaurant, café or other business that serves food
- also have seating inside.
- These guidelines apply to all applications for outdoor dining in our local area, except for the Rocks, Circular Quay, Barangaroo and Darling Harbour.
