Temporary Food Premises
Temporary and mobile food premises
From 1 July 2011, a new statewide registration and notification scheme for temporary and mobile food premises applies under the Food Act 1984.
Temporary food premises are temporary sites or stalls where food is sold. This includes stalls and tents at school fetes, markets, festivals and other short term events.
Mobile food premises are vehicles such as vans, trailers or carts from which food is sold.
Under the new system and depending on your food handling activities, you only need to register with, or notify, the one council which is known as your Principal Council. This single registration will cover your registration or notification under the Food Act 1984 throughout Victoria.
Our Public Health Unit is happy to help people through the new process, so please feel free to contact the Unit on 9518 3539 or 9518 3540.
