Cumberland City introduces goods on display

Council actively supports local businesses promoting trade by displaying goods on Council footpaths within its LGA. It is imperative that adequate controls are maintained at all times for the safety of the community, while providing an active and attractive street frontage. This will encourage fair and equitable use of Council footpaths by all members of the community. It is also important that display areas are kept clean and regularly maintained.
