Draft Awning Policy
A draft Awning Policy has been developed by Council to help property and business owners understand their responsibilities and obligations regarding awnings over public spaces, including roads. The draft Awning Policy is on public exhibition from 1 March 2025 until 1 May 2025 to allow the community and effected property owners to provide feedback on the policy.
The draft awning policy aims to ensure that appropriate measures are in place to protect users of footways and other public spaces within Lachlan Shire from potential injury that may result from the structural failure of unmaintained awnings. Over a period of time awnings and balconies may become structurally weakened and in the absence of regular maintenance or repair, may pose a real risk to public safety.
The policy has been prepared taking into consideration the recommendations of the Coroner’s Court and NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure circulars concerning the safety of awnings over public lands.

Submissions close 4pm, Thursday 1 May 2025.
