NSW Easy to Do Business
Council is signed up to the NSW Government's 'Easy to Do Business' Program which provides free personalised business support to make it faster for people to establish and grow their small business. The service is available to the following small business types:
- Cafes and Restaurants
- Small Bars
- Clothing Retail Businesses
The service provides you with a Business Concierge who will guide you not only through the planning approval process but assist with other requirements such as business registration. More information is available from the Service NSW website.
Council Approval Guide
Council approval may be a necessary step in the process of establishing a small business, depending on the location and nature of the proposed works and/or use. To make this process as easy as possible Council has developed five easy steps to guide you. Should you require further assistance, please call Council on 9911 3555 or email service@lanecove.nsw.gov.au to speak to a Town Planner.
