Have your say on the Millicent Retail Trading Hours
What's being decided?
Wattle Range Council is seeking preliminary feedback from interested persons on their views on the possibility of Council making an application to the Minister to vary Millicent's Proclaimed Shopping District. This is preliminary consultation, gaining feedback from key stakeholders only at this stage.
Background
Council has received requests from three local businesses to consult with relevant stakeholders regarding shop trading hours. Millicent is a Proclaimed Shopping District which restricts trading hours for some retail businesses.
Most of Millicent's retail stores are classified as exempt shops and may trade on any day of the year that suit the needs of the business and its customers. Additionally, hardware, furniture, floor coverings, motor vehicle parts and accessories and car and boat dealerships have their own retail trading hours that are not affected by the Proclaimed Shopping District.
Non-exempt retail stores are classified as having a retail floor area exceeding 200m2 (or 400m2 if a supermarket or grocery store) and has an adjacent or adjoining storage area no bigger than half the shop's retail floor area.
Proclaimed Shopping Districts
Weekdays: until 6pm (until 9pm on Thurs) Saturdays: until 5pm (excludes Easter Saturday) Sundays: CLOSED All public holidays: CLOSED
