Guidelines for carrying out a small-scale business from your residential premises

If you are conducting a small-scale business from home, you must ensure that the activities do not cause disamenities to your neighbours. Your residential premises should also still be primarily used for residential purposes. Otherwise, you must cease operations or relocate to other premises, such as commercial units.
