Cafes and businesses! WCC says think about creating a no cost parklet
From WCC News
Parklets
Businesses looking to create more outdoor space for dining or socialising are being encouraged to explore the possibility of temporarily transforming an adjacent on-street carpark or two into a parklet.
These small outdoor spaces work well in other cities in Aotearoa and overseas and were successfully trialled in Wellington last year in Newtown, and in Cuba, Allen and Marion streets. The parklets bring life and creativity to a neighbourhood and give people a bit more space to spread out and social distance. This can be a big advantage now, especially for cafes.
There’s a design guide and information online that explains how to design and apply to develop a parklet. And to help, we won't be charging any fees for the use of street space approved for parklet use until at least March 2023.
