Apply for a refund for alfresco table/chair fees and food registration permits

We will also refund all food registration permits and outdoor trading permits paid during this financial year, since 1 July 2019. We want to make it easier for new businesses to start up so we will waive a range of planning application fees for small businesses starting up in the next 6 months.

Down load the forms below that are required to process the alfresco table/chair fees and food registration permits refunds.

Once we’ve received a refund request, the business details will be verified and then processed. Due to the high number of requests during this period we will aim to process the refund as quickly as possible but please be patient as this may take a little while. An emailed notification will be sent when the electronic transfer of funds has been actioned.
