Mobile Traders and Hawkers

Find out about the health regulations applying to mobile traders in the Kawerau District.

Mobile traders include hawkers by definition and are subject to registration under the Kawerau District Council General Bylaw: Part 3 Trading in Public Places.

Mobile traders are licensed to operate within the Kawerau District and operate from a stall, caravan, cart, or similar structure. A hawker is a person who carries items for sale as they walk from door to door. 

These activities are required to be licensed annually. Please note that first-time applications should be accompanied by two recent character references. For further information please contact Council.
