Need More Help?
Most permits, licences or approvals fall under the control of Council's Community and/or Engineering Services Departments.

If you require further information or assistance with any of the documents we have available on this page, phone us on (07) 4696-7900 or email us.

Permit and Licence Forms
Obtain Proper Authorisation Here
If you need to obtain a permit, licence or approval from Council (or to transfer or renew an existing one) you'll find all the relevant forms here.

Most of these forms are mandated by Rosalie Shire Council's Local Laws. They help ensure good, orderly governance of our Shire.

Each document is in Adobe PDF format. Simply print it out, fill it in, attach any relevant additional information and/or the fee that applies. Then either post it back to us at PO Box 50, Goombungee Qld 4354 or lodge it in person at Council's offices at 89 Mocatta Street, Goombungee.

We'll process it on receipt and be back in touch with you soon afterwards.

Accommodation
If you intend to rent out accommodation - particularly if it involves shared facilities - you may require a permit from Council to do so. However, certain types of facilities or situations are exempt from this provision. So if you're in any doubt, please read the information sheet about this topic which is available below.

Advertising Signs
If you intend to erect an advertising sign, a sandwich board or some other advertising device in Rosalie Shire you may need to obtain Council's approval to do so. This is because uncontrolled advertising can cause visual pollution and because improperly constructed signage can pose a safety risk to the public.

Food Operators
If you intend to make foodstuffs available to the public in Rosalie Shire you'll generally require a licence to do so - and the premises where foodstuffs are prepared and/or offered to the public will need to be licensed too. Council needs to ensure that anyone offering food to the public does so in a safe and hygienic way that's in accordance with commonly accepted Australian health standards.
