The District Council of Grant recognises the economic and social value that mobile food businesses can bring to the community. Council also understands the need to provide a balanced and fair approach to mobile food business activities in respect to competition with existing fixed food businesses, opportunities afforded to small business owners, the benefit to the community (including potential for increased tourism) and economic development in our region.
Council has adopted a Business Activity on Council Land Policy, which outlines the steps to be taken when applying for a Mobile Food Business permit, and Council’s process of assessing such applications. There are two types of Mobile Food Business Applications – those that will apply to activities on Council Land, and those that will apply to activities on Council Roads.
Applications for both Mobile Food Business on Council Land and Council Roads can be found at: Forms - Food Businesses
Mobile Food Businesses must also hold a Food Business Number, further information can be found at: Forms - Food Businesses
