Busking on private property
Any individual or business who wants to commence busking on private property (e.g. shopping centre) does not require a trading licence but will need to obtain permission to busk from the owner of the property.
Busking on City of Wanneroo property
Any individual or business who wants to commence busking to the public on City property will be required to obtain a trading licence. Should the busking be taking place at a City held event, then a trading licence will not be required but permission must be obtained from the event organiser.
