Temporary or mobile food business registration

You must register your mobile food business like a food truck or cart, or if you have a food business in a temporary structure such as a stall or stand that operates at periodic or one-off events. 

You will need to appoint a Food Safety Supervisor if you operate at events such as fairs, festivals, markets, and must comply with food safety standards when operating a food business.  

Your temporary food or mobile food vehicle business may be inspected by us at any time, and especially during an event.  

Your mobile food vehicle is not permitted to trade on Councils land, footpaths, roadways, parklands, public parking areas or beachfront locations and/or areas. You can trade on private land, but you must get permission from the landowner before you conduct business.

Before you start your application, you will need to check that your address is in the Bayside LGA. The mapping tool will allow you to do an address or property search.
