One call. The right advice.
Navigating Council requirements shouldn't mean contacting multiple departments to find the information you need.
Our Business Concierge service provides a single point of contact to help you understand Council processes, identify the right approvals and connect with the appropriate Council officers.
We can assist with enquiries relating to:
- Planning and development enquiries
- Permits, licences and regulatory requirements
- Outdoor dining and footpath trading
- Events and activations
- Building, property and place-based enquiries
- Business support programs, workshops and networking opportunities
- Council services and processes relevant to businesses
- Other Council-related business enquiries
If we can't answer your question directly, we'll connect you with the right Council team.
