Local authorities may run economic development initiatives to facilitate and encourage economic and business development to improve the attractiveness of the local area as a place to invest.
Local authorities, together with other stakeholders, manage public health and safety by regularly inspecting local authority buildings and work activities, investigating accidents and incidents and taking appropriate action.
You must apply to the local authority for a permit if you want to erect a memorial plaque, tree or bench to honour a person, group of people or significant event.
