Intro
The program will make it easier for small businesses to operate in WA by making the process of accessing permits and licences from local governments easier, saving them time and money.
The program is being led by the Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC), and is funded through Streamline WA, as part of the State Government’s focus on economic recovery as a response to COVID-19.
The program was piloted by the cities of Canning and Stirling, with SBDC, in 2019. Seventeen more WA local governments will participate in the program by the end of 2022.
