Busking is permitted at various locations in the Blacktown area.  A permit is required and can be obtained from our Events Team.

Anyone wishing to apply for a busking permit will need to register with Bookable and submit an application.

Applications will be assessed by our team and where approved, an annual fee of $55.50 will be invoiced. This entitles the busker to a maximum of 10 weeks or 70 days per year.
