(4) What is the average seating capacity for applications received in October 2009.

(5) In which suburbs did businesses apply for an outdoor café licence in October 2009.

Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(2) This one application was approved on 18 November 2009 as the proprietor was not ready to trade before this time.

(3) This application took 24 working days to issue, the delay due to the applicant not being ready to trade or to pay for the issue of the permit.

(4) The one application was for 49 square metres, allowing 49 chairs, therefore a capacity of 49 persons.

(5) The Division of City.
