Council Circular 24-18 Mutual Recognition – Councils’ Local Approvals for mobile businesses
As part of the NSW Vibrancy Reforms, the Office of Local Government (OLG) is developing a mutual recognition framework.
This will allow an approval granted to a business under Section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993 by one council to be recognised across multiple local government areas.
This will initially apply to approvals granted for the following mobile businesses:
o food trucks
o market stall holders
o buskers
o outdoor fitness trainers
