Business Approvals, Licensing & Planning

Starting or expanding a business often involves understanding planning requirements, approvals, licences and other obligations. Blackall-Tambo Regional Council can help businesses understand what may be required and connect them with the right information before getting started.

Whether you are establishing a new business, changing the use of a property, expanding your premises, or developing a new opportunity, it is important to understand the approvals that may apply.

Council information and services that may assist include:

  • Planning and Development - understand planning requirements, development applications and the Blackall-Tambo Planning Scheme.
  • Building Approvals - information about building work, renovations and required approvals.
  • Business Licences and Permits - find information about licences and permits that may apply to specific industries and activities.
  • Commercial Use of Footpaths and Roads - businesses wanting to reach customers through public spaces like footpaths and roads (including dining, displays, signage and plants) require approval through a simple application form and assessment. 
  • Procurement and Tenders - view opportunities to work with Council as a supplier or vendor. 

Planning early can help businesses identify requirements, avoid delays and make informed decisions when establishing or growing in the Blackall-Tambo region.
