Kiosks and cylinders add vibrancy and diversity to the area and enable new and innovative businesses access to trade.
We have several kiosks and cylinders across the municipality that are currently leased.
Cylinders are smaller than kiosks, and only certain locations have access to power or water.
Long-term cylinder and kiosk EOI process
We are currently not accepting submissions for kiosk and cylinder licenses for periods greater than one year.
If a cylinder or kiosk becomes available prior to the next expression of interest period, we will contact those people who have registered.
