A home business is defined a business, carried out on in a dwelling, or in a building ancillary to a dwelling, by one or more permanent residents of the dwelling. What differentiates it from a home occupation, is that it also may employ people that do not usually reside at the premises.
Operating a home business can meet exempt development if it meets the criteria within Subdivision 22 of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008. If it doesn’t meet the criteria or is a business concerned with food preparation, it is not considered to be exempt and will require a DA.
