‘PAVEMENT PERMITS’ FOR RESTAURANTS OVER FESTIVE SEASON

Issued by George Municipality 17 December 2021 for immediate release

George Municipality is allowing restaurants to apply for ‘pavement permits’ over the festive season, to assist restaurants to inch closer to their original capacities as they have to implement social distancing measures due to COVID-19.

A ‘pavement permit’ will provide restaurants with additional floor space to place their tables, taking Covid-19 amended level 1 regulations into account. These permits will be applicable until 16 January 2022.

If your establishment would like to apply for this permit, download the application form here https://www.george.gov.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Encroachment-application-151221-1.pdf and submit it together with the required documents to Lauren Waring, Director of Planning and Development: lwaring@george.gov.za.  Any additional queries can be directed to the same email address.
