About
We manage informal trading in Cape Town.
The Informal Trading By-law assists us to declare an informal trading plan for any place or area within our control. The plan identifies dedicated, restricted or prohibited areas for informal trading in that place or area.
Approval from Council is required as part of the process before any area can be defined as an informal trading plan area.
In terms of section 17 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, you can submit comments to the municipality in respect of the draft informal trading plan.
