Home business
What is it?
A home business can be divided into two categories:
Service as a home-related profession
This concerns services provided in a home and/or associated outbuildings. The services are administrative, legal, medical, therapeutic, artistic, design-related, or similar. No exemption from the environmental plan is required for this. However, the Requirements must be met.
Home body care profession
A body care profession (at home and/or in an associated outbuilding), for example, a beautician, nail stylist, pedicurist, or similar professions. This requires an exemption from the environmental plan.
Hairdressers/hairdressing salons are not considered a body care profession. They may only establish themselves if the zoning plan permits it.
