Mobile Food Vendors and Temporary Food Events Premises

Food truck

Hornsby Shire Council is responsible for regulating all retail and service food premises throughout the Shire, including mobile food vendors.

Temporary food events

Food stalls at temporary events must comply with the requirements in the NSW Food Authorities Guidelines for Businesses at Temporary Events.

Often charities, organisations and volunteers sell food for charitable purposes. Food safety information for charity groups and volunteers can be found on the NSW Food Authority’s website.

To notify Council, please complete the Temporary Food/Market Stall Notification Form.

Mobile food vendors

Mobile food vendors must be registered with Council and the NSW Food Authority. Mobile food vendors are required to apply for a section 68 approval. Please see the below link for an application form

If approval is granted, you will need to have your vehicle inspected by Council to ensure it complies with the NSW Food Authority’s Guidelines for Mobile Food Vending Vehicles.

To book your mobile food vehicle for an inspection please telephone 9847 6039.

Selling from a fixed site

The carrying out of the retail sale of food, drinks and related products on private land from a mobile outlet such as a food truck, van, cart or other similar vehicle must comply with the requirements for 'Mobile food and drink outlets' under State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development) 2008.
