Regulatory Compliance Search
A regulatory compliance search application (PDF,185kB) is recommended for any person who is proposing to purchase any existing business activity that requires a licence or any other approval under State legislation or Council’s local laws that is regulated by Council’s Environmental Health unit.
A sales search application assists you to fulfil your due diligence obligations prior to purchase and are fully aware of any outstanding requisitions or other non-compliant issues associated with the particular business activity that you are proposing to purchase.
Failure to make an informed choice before purchase may result in you accepting responsibility for any outstanding requisitions or otherwise bringing the business activity into compliance with all relevant legislative requirements.
