Street Appeals

You are required to apply for Council approval to host a street appeal in the district. Please consider the following terms and conditions when planning your street appeal. 

Street appeal terms and conditions

1. You may only collect on the day approved, between the hours of 7 am and 6 pm. Your organisation must not collect on any other day during the calendar year. Failure to observe this condition may result in your organisation being refused annual appeal dates.

3. Pedestrian access is to be maintained at all times.

6. Collectors are to be clearly identified and to display the name of the organisation and the appeal.

7. If your collectors encounter problems with street performers, phone us on 06 867 8060 or move to another location.

8. Collectors are not permitted on Council parks, lawns or gardens without permission from Council.

9. All collection areas must be left clean and tidy.

10. Collectors must comply with the instructions of NZ Police or Council officers.
