Section 56C of the Vehicle and Traffic Act 1999 prohibits the setting up or use of a stall, stand or vehicle on a public street for the purposes of the sale of goods, or of a business, calling or employment without a permit.

Street stall permits are issued by the general manager of the relevant local council subject to consultation with Tasmania Police regarding any traffic and public safety issues. Application forms can be obtained through the relevant local council.

For a list of local government contacts, visit the Local Government Tasmania Website.

Depending on the event, a twelve-week lead time is strongly recommended. At a minimum, an eight-week lead time is required to ensure your permit is processed in a timely manner. Please contact the relevant office or district if your event falls outside of this time frame.
