Food Businesses

A food business is any enterprise or activity involving the handling or sale of food, such as cafes, restaurants, bakeries, market food stalls, and food vans.

Burnie Council supports food businesses by maintaining a food business register, offering guidance, and conducting routine inspections to ensure high food safety standards across the municipality.

Our Environmental Health Officers are available to assist with selecting and completing the necessary paperwork or providing advice on safe food handling.

Registration of a Food Business

Businesses and individuals that sell prepackaged food must notify the Council. Food businesses that sell, handle, or produce food must register with the Council and renew their registration annually.

Mobile Food Vendors

Businesses, Organisations or Individuals who would like to operate a food stall or food van can register for a permit with Council for either a temporary one-off event or for a period of up to 12 months.
