Shire of Harvey Business Support
Red Carpet, Not Red Tape.
The Shire of Harvey is a proactive and strategic local government that fosters a “red carpet, not red tape” approach to encourage and assist new businesses and investors.
The Shire invests in new and existing infrastructure, supports business development initiatives, and promotes the Harvey Region to potential investors, skilled staff, and others with access to resources. We also work to create a place that is attractive to visit and live in, and ensure that the Harvey Region’s economy is resilient to future change.
One on One Support
The Shire provides business support to help navigate government requirements and streamline access to new investment and business development opportunities. The Shire’s Economic Development Officer and other members of their Sustainable Development (building, planning, health and environment) team work with clients on a one-on-one basis to bring their investment or business to market sooner and more efficiently. This includes site visits to your property or potential purchase.

It Starts With Planning
Find out about Development Applications, including how to apply, the application process, and development application considerations.
The Shire also has a new Local Planning Scheme. The new Scheme outlines more exemptions from Development Approvals, which means a greater number of people will be able to proceed with small projects with no need to apply for Development Approval.
Build It Right
Get advice and approval before you build. A building permit is required for most residential, commercial and industrial structures. This includes all new works, alterations, additions and extensions.
