Public Land and Council Assets Local Law 2014

Brisbane is a growing city with now more than 2160 parks to promote active and healthy lifestyles. Council cares for and manages these valuable assets for the residents and visitors of our city to share in a safe and friendly environment.

You may need a footway permit for certain activities on Council's footpaths and roads, including closures and adding a planter box. Read guidelines and find out how you can apply.

If you are going to build, repair or modify a driveway, you must apply for a driveway permit to cross the footway.

Council supports work on Council property such as roads and footways when this is required as part of construction work or business operations. Council regulates these activities to ensure public health and safety.

If you want to set up or use any stall, booth, stand, tables or chairs (not associated with footpath dining) or stationary vehicle on or in a road or on the footpath for commercial or promotional purposes, you will need a permit from Brisbane City Council.

Brisbane has three main malls - Queen Street, Brunswick Street and the Chinatown mall. Penalties may apply for breaches of the local laws in these areas.

Under the Public Land and Council Assets Local Law 2014 Council can confiscate articles and vehicles left on Council land and roads. Council publishes confiscated articles and vehicles which may be released or disposed.
