Parklets for businesses
What are parklets
Parklets are repurposed car parking spaces (approximately two parking spaces) that consist of facilities beneficial to pedestrians such as public seating, bike parking, landscaping, shade, public art, games and activities.
The objective of a parklet is to create places that foster community interaction, activate streets, promote vibrancy, enhance walkability and are inviting to all members of the community.
A parklet is different to an alfresco dining area. An alfresco means an area in which tables, chairs and other structures are provided for the purpose of the consumption of food or beverages and are solely for the use of restaurant patrons.
Types of parklets
There are three types of parklets:
- City parklets: Funded, designed, built and maintained by the City
- Hosted parklets: Sponsored by an adjacent business, organisation or community group (the applicant) and funded, designed, built and maintained by the applicant.
- Private parklets: Proposed on privately owned car parking areas and are usually subject to a planning application being lodged and assessed by the City.
