Food safety
Waverley Council has approximately 500 food shop businesses operating in the Local Government Area (LGA), which are regularly monitored by Council’s Environment Health Officers. Food businesses are inspected to ensure compliance with the Food Act 2003 and the Food Standards Code.
The Environmental Health Officers also follow up on food contamination complaints or unclean food premises, and work in partnership with the NSW Food Authority to address food-related matters.
Inspection fees
An inspection fee is charged in accordance with Council's Pricing Policy, Fees & Charges if Council's Environmental Health Officers are required to reinspect a food business.
Registering a food business
All food businesses must be registered with Council in order to operate in the Waverley LGA. To register your business, complete the food business registration form.
Food shop fit-outs
All new shop fit-outs must comply with the design standards as prescribed in Council's Fit-out and construction of food premises policy.
Food authority notification
It is mandatory that all food businesses in NSW (except those licensed by the NSW Food Authority and not-for-profit fundraising events) notify the NSW Food Authority of their food activity details.
You can notify the Authority in one of two ways:
Submit your notification online
It is fast, free of charge and provides you with an instant certificate of confirmation. Follow instructions on how to complete your notification online at www.foodnotify.nsw.gov.au
Lodge a form
Paper forms can be submitted to the NSW Food Authority directly. Please be aware that all paper forms incur a charge of $55.00 (GST included). Contact the Food Notification Help Desk on 1300 650 124 to obtain a form.
Healthier oil
Council, in conjunction with the Heart Foundation, recommends food businesses use healthier fats and oils when cooking preparing and cooking food to help meet customer demand for healthier choices.
