within different council districts. One form can cover all your activities in all districts.
For the trading details section you must list the date range at which the vehicle may operate from the site eg 1/12/2012 – 1/3/2013.
How to lodge this form:This form must be submitted to each council in whose district you will be trading. A copymust also be given to your principal council so that it understands the extent of your operations, and can answer any questions asked by other councils.The principal council is the one you have notified under the state-wide system.
