Starting or expanding a business is exciting and getting the right advice early can help you avoid costly mistakes and move through Council approvals faster.
Our Small Business Permit Assist service is a free service that gives you a single point of contact to guide you through it.
What is Small Business Permit Assist?
Whether you’re just starting out, looking to relocate, or change existing operations, your Business Concierge Officer is your one point of contact at Council for permits.
Designed to cut down on red tape, your Business Concierge Officer can guide you through:
- The types of permits and registrations you may need
- What documentation and supporting information is needed to lodge complete permits and registration applications
- An indication of the aspects of your business idea that generally align with policy or could introduce complexity if you do apply for permits and registration
- Business planning or support services
Before you start
You can receive guidance on the types of permits and registration you may need, providing you have the following details:
- A business concept
- Details of the services your business offers and operational thinking
- Location, and
- Any works that need to be undertaken at the site
What happens next
We’re in contact. Within a week of applying, your Business Concierge Officer will follow up with preliminary information and, if needed, arrange a time to meet.
