Permit advice for businesses

If you are considering starting up a new business, or are keen to grow and build your existing business in the shire, our Economic Development and Planning units can offer you advice and assistance with building and planning permits and regulations.

For example you may need to ensure you have adequate car parking, have a liquor licence, permits for business signs.
