Are you a community group or organisation planning to fundraise? Council would like to remind all groups that when planning to fundraise on streets or in public spaces, a Street Stall Permit must be obtained.
This permit ensures your activity complies with local requirements, is well-organised, and avoids overlapping with other fundraising activities. As part of the application process, groups are required to provide a copy of $20 million public liability insurance to safeguard both your group and the community. Importantly, there is no fee for community groups to apply for a permit.
Once your permit is approved, it must be clearly displayed at your stall. This demonstrates that your fundraiser is authorised and helps ensure that all groups can operate safely and without duplication in the same area.
If your fundraising activities involve a sausage sizzle, cake stall, or the provision of food, please contact Council in regard to a Non-Profit Food Notification Certificate. For more information, visit Council’s website: maranoa.co/PermitsandLicenses
Council values the contributions of community groups and encourages fundraising activities.
