You will need to give:
- details of your premises, whether mobile or temporary

Your registration requirements will depend on what class your food business is. To learn more about the different classes of food businesses, see the Department of Health website.

Locations on council land
There are several areas on council land where you can park your food truck without needing a planning permit. Each location can have up to two food trucks at any one time.
To trade at one of these locations, you will need:

Your truck must be parked. You cannot roam around the location.
The locations are:
