Permission to busk, have a stall or street appeal in a public place, must be sought from the Council and neighbouring shops

Buskers and Street Stalls

Permission to busk in public places must be sought from the Council and neighbouring shops where the busking is intended to take place.

Council permission is not required for private properties such as Woolworth's, Pak n Save and the Warehouse.

Buskers must specify the dates (the maximum permitted is five days).
Ensure no one has the area booked already. Council will do this search.
Buskers must fill in an application form (no fees required). Download HERE ( 32 kb PDF ).
Buskers should contact the Council if they wish to use Clem Currie Court (outside Whitcoulls and Westpac). Activities outside Clem Currie Court must enhance Horomatangi Street and the surrounding businesses. It has seats and a power point.

There are no parking exemptions for buskers.

Street appeals, stalls, and sausage sizzles must only be for charitable purposes.

Make an application. Signatures of adjacent shop owners should be sought. The application form and general information can be seen HERE ( 32 kb PDF ).
Handouts should not be placed under car windscreen wipers as this causes litter and parking problems.
Ensure no one has the area booked already. Council will do this search.
A parking exemption for one car may be allowed for ease of storage of stall stock. The exemption slip must be displayed inside the windscreen.
