Temporary Food Stalls

The food legislation contains requirements that all food businesses must meet to ensure a high standard of safe food practices. While there are some exemptions available, the majority of these requirements still apply to temporary food stalls and mobile food vans that trade at community events, public spaces or anywhere where food is sold even as a ‘once off’ event.

Temporary food stalls can include a booth, tent, marquee or other temporary equipment, such as a trestle table and barbeque. Download the Design and Operation of a Temporary Food Stall which is the minimum standard expected of food businesses and food handlers.

Download the Small Event Application Form if you wish to hold a temporary food stall event. There is a section in the form to list the types of food intended for sale. Council’s Environmental Health Officer may contact you for further information regarding your food activities

Please note that you still require a FBN regardless if you're operating as a temporary food business. This includes 'once off' events.

Are you planning an event with mobile food vans and temporary stalls?

If a major event is being held on Council land, it is required that the organiser of the event collect information regarding the food businesses intending to operate.
