Public health and safety is a priority for the council. Our environmental health officers evaluate shops and eateries throughout the city, assessing the standard of premises, food handling and storage practices, cleanliness and staff training.
If you are unable to cope with graffiti problems yourself, we offer a free graffiti removal service for residential and small business property owners.
We also issue liquor licences and managers' certificates when there is no opposition to the licence or certificate and the council helps control excessive or unreasonable noise by providing a 24-hour, 7-day noise control service. Read more about how we protect your health in the community.
