Moreland Council has been working to support many local businesses through outdoor dining expansion under Covid-19 recovery for hospitality businesses. The feedback we have received from businesses has been very positive.
In total, we have issued 165 new footpath trading permits, provided 34 businesses with parklets and assisted with 5 road closures to allow outdoor dining across Moreland.
The Lomond Hotel converted a private car park to seat patrons for outdoor dining. This conversion is permitted without needing planning permission under the State-wide permit exemptions designed to support businesses recover from shutdowns during the pandemic. The exemptions seek to strike a balance between supporting local businesses while protecting the amenity of residents.
