They also issue and ensure compliance with permits for a wide range of activities, including:

• Residents: parking permits, skip bin permits, firewood collection and permits to burn
• Disabled parking permits
• Business: street trader permits, place of public entertainment permits, prescribed accommodation, health (beauty) and food safety premises permits, mobile food truck permits, busking permits
• Filming permits
• Planning and building permits.
