If you plan to buy an existing health or accommodation business premises, or start a new health or accommodation business, you can request that Council conduct a pre-purchase inspection of the premises.
Our Environmental Health Officers will inspect the business to assess the suitability of the premises for registration and ensure compliance with the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. This inspection also provides an opportunity to speak with an authorised officer and gain guidance on maintaining compliance beyond the initial inspection.

Request inspection of a health or accommodation business premises
Pre-purchase inspection fees:
Once you have submitted the online form, our Environmental Health team will email you an invoice, which will include instructions for payment.
The pre-purchase inspection service includes one follow-up inspection if requested. Any follow-up inspections beyond this will incur an additional fee of $217.00 per inspection.
We will organise the inspection and send you (or your solicitor) a copy of the Health Act inspection report.
You should talk to your solicitor and agree who will be responsible for lodging the application for registration form just before you take over the business.
Once you've completed the inspection process and are going ahead with the sale of the business, you must register as the new business owner under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. Learn how to register a health or accommodation business.
