From February 2026, the City of Melbourne’s Business Concierge service returns to libraries to support local businesses and entrepreneurs.

Various session times - see booking links for details

Whether you’re just getting started within the municipality or looking to grow, we’re here to make doing business in Melbourne easier.

Book a free 30-minute session with a Business Concierge Officer for practical guidance on starting or growing your business in Melbourne. We can help you understand permits and approvals, navigate Council processes and connect you with relevant business support services and resources.
