Frequently Asked Questions About This Service
When do I need a sidewalk occupancy permit?
Whenever temporary construction or landscaping work takes place on the pavement adjoining your building — during construction, when extending a shopfront or reworking an entrance — because the pavement is public property that cannot be occupied without authorisation.
How long is a sidewalk permit valid?
It is temporary and tied to the duration of the works stated in the application. If more time is needed, a new application is filed before the permit expires so no violation is recorded.
Can the pavement be closed completely during the works?
No. The municipality requires a safe pedestrian route to be maintained and the work area secured; the permit defines exactly how much area may be occupied and what kind of work is allowed.
What happens if the work proceeds without a permit?
It exposes the business to violations, fines and a stop-work order, and the owner may be required to restore the pavement to its original condition at their own cost.
