Temporary Food Stalls

The City of Wagga Wagga attracts a wide range of local food stalls operators from across the region to its vibrant temporary events each year.

Notification – Temporary/Special Event Food Stall

Food businesses that sell food to the public at temporary events such as fairs, festival, markets and shows are considered retail food businesses and therefore need to meet a range of requirements and food safety control such as:

Food businesses wishing to trade in Wagga Wagga's Local Government Area are required to notify their businesses with Wagga Wagga City Council.

Upon notification you will receive an acknowledgement of notification with a Temporary Event reference number (TEF) which allows you to trade in the local government area over a period of 12 months.

Acknowledgement of notification will need to be produced at temporary events whilst trading in Wagga Wagga. All food businesses/food stall holders  will obtain a TEF number as reference. All businesses (except mobile vending vehicles & commercial businesses) are required to renew Temporary Event business activities notifications once every 12 months.

For more information about the notification process, please read the information on the Temporary Event food stall notification process page.

*Please Note: This application does not provide approval to operate on a public footpath. Should you need to carry out activities on a public footpath, a separate application form (Display of Goods) must be lodged with Wagga Wagga City Council.

Temporary Food Stall Minimum Requirements

MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR FOOD STALLS AT TEMPORARY EVENTS

In New South Wales the sale of food is regulated by the Food Act 2003 and the Food Regulation 2010. These laws incorporate the provisions of the Food Standards Code. Food business operators are bound by the requirements of these standards to ensure that only safe and suitable food is sold for human consumption. The Food Safety Standards can be downloaded from http://www.foodstandards.gov.au

Failure to comply with the requirements or the selling of foods that do not comply with the requirements may render the food business liable to prosecution. Vendors of foods which cause injury or illness could be sued for damages. A temporary event is any occasion which is not permanent in nature. The primary aim of this website is to make food businesses aware of their legal requirements and to suggest ways to assure food safety at the event.

MINIMUM STANDARDS - The following minimum standards shall apply in respect of all food to be prepared, stored, transported and offered for consumption at promotions and special events:
