Flexible regulations for food trucks
Mobile food and drink outlets (food trucks) are allowed to operate at any time, but there are some restricted times in residential areas and under conditions of our mobile food vending vehicles – local approvals policy.
- Food trucks must have consent of the owner of the land where they are located. If a council or other public authority has control and management of the land, such as a public road, public reserve or other public place, consent in writing from the council or relevant public authority must be obtained.
- If the food truck is located on private land it is limited to one food truck for each lot, and it must not contravene any conditions of development consent for any other use of the land.
- Other requirements including not obstructing vehicle or pedestrian access and taking steps to reduce noise also apply.
