Temporary Food Stalls
Businesses that sell food at temporary events such as fairs, festival, markets and shows are considered retail food businesses, as they sell food to the public, and need to meet a range of requirements. For more information please visit the Food Authority website.
For operational requirements, please see the Guidelines for Food Businesses at Temporary Events developed by the NSW Food Authority.
Hosting a temporary food stall at a Strathfield Council event
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
