Consultation has concluded
At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 28 July 2021, Council resolved to place a proposed new fee for the operation of food vans on Council land on public exhibition commencing Friday 30 July 2021 and ending on Monday 30 August 2021.
At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 26 May 2021, Council considered a report on the legislative framework governing food shops and vans. This report recommended Council introduce a new fee for the placement of food vans on Council parks and Council-owned lands.
The Fees and Charges for 2021/22 year adopted at the June Extraordinary Council Meeting include a fee for food vans in the Beady Street Mall. This report is proposing to introduce a flat fee for food vans on Council parks and land (other than the Beardy Street Mall) of $90.00 (incl GST) per day per van.
The introduction of the new fee will allow food vans to operate on all Council parks and lands (owned or managed) where appropriate and safe to meet the needs of the community.
The proposed fee for food vans on Council owned or managed land other than the central Beardy Street Mall ensures equitable treatment when charging a fee for the use of public land in this manner.
This new fee is to provide some equity between temporary food vans operating using public land and established food shops who pay rates or rent fees for their premises. The adoption of this fee will result in revenue. It is not possible to determine the amount of revenue that may be received and this will be variable.
Any damage caused to parks as a result of mobile vendor vans will be either offset by the fees or additional changes for reparation will be levied upon the user.
The proposed fee follows representations from the community asking Council to facilitate mobile coffee vans at popular Parks including the new Curtis Park play space.
