Mobile Food and Drink Vendors Trading on Public Places

The policy allows Council to better influence, guide and control the form and use of mobile food and drink vendors trading on public parks, places, roads and reserves. 

A method to encourage people to meet and the community to prosper is to further activate the shire’s many public open spaces with ample access mobile food and drink outlets. This policy has been developed to guide mobile food vendor activity. It seeks to be well balanced by facilitating mobile food vendor operations while protecting public health, safe-guarding local business proprietor interests and maintaining community welfare in public spaces. 

The policy also supplements provisions of the Local Government Act 1993, the Roads Act 1993, the Food Act 2003 and associated regulations.
