    Development Application (DA)

    Can I run a nail salon from home in Sydney?

    Summary: usually yes, with approval. Once clients come to your home you generally need a planning approval from council. And if any service you offer breaks the skin, the premises also has to be registered separately. Most people only find out about the second one too late.

Not sure which approval you need?

Tell us the address and what you want to do. We'll help identify the appropriate planning pathway, whether it is exempt development, complying development or a full DA. Your first conversation is free.
