Food at temporary events

Food safety at your event is ultimately the responsibility of the food businesses. However, there are some things you must ensure are available:

• Easy access to potable water (if potable water is transported through a hose you must use a food grade hose, not a garden hose)
• Facilities for the disposal of solid and liquid waste

We encourage event organisers to provide information to us of upcoming events with the following details:

• Date and time of the event
• Estimated number of people attending the event
• Name of the attending food businesses and their home councils
• Type of food to served by the food businesses  

Non-fixed food vendors who trade in the Coffs LGA:

• Do not have to notify City of Coffs Harbour
• Must ensure the following documentation is kept available on site:

• Food Safety Supervisor Certificate
• Proof of notification/registration with home council (if you are registered/notified with another council, you don't have to be registered with City of Coffs Harbour)
• Copy of last food safety inspection report.

Note: If your food business has not been inspected in the last 12 months, our officers may inspect the business. Fees will apply. See our fees and charges
