Before you start

If you are considering trade from a location that is not an approved market or event, contact our planning team to understand if any permits are needed or if restrictions apply.

You should ensure the site has the correct land use for a food stall and understand if any Development Approval is needed or if any restrictions apply. 

For planning and development information, see Planning and development.
