In Victoria, temporary and mobile food premises such as market stalls and food vans require Food Act registration.
Streatrader is the online system for businesses and community groups to register and notify their temporary and mobile food premises with their registering council.
When to use StrEATrader
You must use Streatrader if you:
- sell food or drink to the public at a stall, tent, marquee or from a mobile food vehicle including a van, trailer or cart
- hold a public BBQ/sausage sizzle
- own a vending machine or water transport vehicle.
Even if you make food at home and sell it at the local farmers market you need to have an account on the StrEATrader website.
Local schools running fundraising events like fetes, hot dog day, or movie and pizza night, should first contact Council.
