Temporary Food Stalls

Please visit the Sydney Markets website to learn about their requirements for operating a food stall.

You may be subject to inspections by Council and/or the markets internal auditing system.

You will need to complete a Temporary Food Application Form(PDF, 234KB) as part of your application. Please complete the form and return to council@strathfield.nsw.gov.au and address to Environmental Services.

All events are advertised on Council's website. Applications for stallholders open in the months leading up to an event and are advertised on the website, social media and Council's eNews. We recommend signing up to the eNews or following us on Facebook to stay up-to-date. 

Stallholder fees are as per Council’s Fees and Charges.

Once received by the Events Team, completed applications are reviewed to ensure quality and that the event doesn't feature too many of the same foods/merchandise. Successful applicants will be notified via email.

For more information, please contact events@strathfield.nsw.gov.au

All event organisers must submit to Strathfield Council a map of the site indicating location of stalls and names of the temporary food stalls.

The temporary food business must comply with the Food Standards Code called up by the Food Act 2003 and the Food Regulation 2015 at all times when operating and trading.

From 1 October 2011 certain businesses including temporary food stalls selling unpackaged, ready to eat potentially hazardous food will need to appoint a food safety supervisor.

For more information please visit the Food Authority website.

A guideline for temporary food stall handling has been developed by the NSW Food Authority.

Council charges inspection fees as set out in Council’s  Fees and Charges Schedule.
