The Town of New Tecumseth’s Temporary Restaurant Patio Program provides restaurants with the opportunity to establish or expand patio spaces to take advantage of the summer weather and offer safe outdoor dining areas to customers.
Patios can operate in parking lots and adjacent premises on the restaurant’s private property as well as on municipal sidewalks at restaurants located in the downtown areas of Alliston, Beeton and Tottenham.
Patios are subject to the program’s conditions and public health measures.
No municipal fees will be charged to participating restaurants in 2024.
Submission requirements to obtain a permit include a completed application form, property owner approval, a site-specific conceptual site plan drawing, and a Health Unit Certificate of Inspection.
An AGCO Liquor License is necessary, if applicable, a certificate of insurance, a professional engineer’s certificate for temporary ‘bump-out’ sidewalk structures and traffic barriers, if applicable, and an encroachment agreement, if applicable, are also needed.
You can download the Curbside Patio Application Package and Private Property Patio Application Package online at the Town’s website.
