  • To enhance the economic welfare of the community within the City by improving standards of fair and honest trading.
  • To control certain trade activities through inspection and other enforcement methods to ensure that the health, safety and economic welfare of those using such trades are not jeopardised by unfair and unsafe trading methods.
