You must have a permit to perform as a busker in Stonnington.
A busker provides street entertainment for passers-by and does not charge a set fee. They can be musical performers, singers, comedians, theatrical and performance artists.
Busking does not include tarot readers, fortune tellers and sketch artists—these activities are considered hawking and are not permitted.
Busking permits are issued for either six-month period:
- 1 October to 31 March
- 1 April to 30 September
Use our Permit Finder if you’re not sure what permits you need.
