Other Licences
Other types of registered premises and services provided by the Marlborough District Council's Environmental Health Officers include the licensing of:
- Hairdressers
- Offensive trades
- Camping grounds
- Funeral directors
Information on establishing a new business/ facility and on the legislative requirements associated with registration and licensing is available during normal office hours from the Environmental Health Team.
These premises require annual registration and officers undertake regular inspections of the premises to ensure ongoing compliance with requirements.
A completed application form must be submitted and then an environmental health officer will contact you for a pre-registration inspection. You may not open until registration is completed. An application fee is required to be submitted with the application.
Beauty Therapy, Tattooing and Piercing Businesses
These businesses do not need to register in the Marlborough District. This may change in future if a bylaw was to be put in place.
If you are a customer of one of these businesses and you believe that your health has been affected during a visit or the premises was unhygienic, you can lodge a complaint with Council by emailing environmentalhealth@marlborough.govt.nz or phoning us on 03 520 7400
