Welcome to Seamless Borders, dedicated to bringing you the right information about doing business in bordering council areas.

Although most business owners will agree that regulatory compliance plays a vital role in safe, successful and sustainable business operation; it can become a burden for businesses operating in areas encompassing two local government authorities and two state governments. Difficulty in accessing information and the financial burden of dual licensing for cross border operation can hinder economic growth for the business and the region.

The Australian Government established a Regulation Reduction Incentive Fund (RRIF), administered through AusIndustry, to assist local authorities develop processes to relieve the burden on small business. Your local Councils and their Economic Development teams have been working together with state and federal government agencies to ensure all the information that you need is accessible in one place, and where possible the duplication is removed.
