Council land includes:

• Footpaths (including the footpath in front of shop entrances)
• Roadways and car parking areas
• Public seating areas
• Transport waiting and drop-off points
• Facilities such as the Esplanade, Barlow Park, Cairns Botanic Gardens and Centenary Lakes

Fines can be issued to the person who touts or the business publicised by the touting.
