Permits
Residents, businesses and visitors to our city must obtain a permit before carrying out certain activities within the Council area.
Applying for, and getting a Council permit, gives approval to carry out the requested activity. Costs are associated with some permit applications, fees are to be paid prior to a permit being approved. Council may attach such conditions to a permit as it thinks fit, and may vary, revoke or impose new conditions by notice in writing.
