The Food Act 2006 and the Food Standards Code provide the direction for food business operators in relation to ensuring safe food is provided to the public.

Council's Environmental Health Officers are responsible for food business licensing, inspecting, fit-out, hygiene and handling as well as cleaning just to name a few.

Questions in relation to labelling should be directed to Queensland Health. Please see the the Helpful links for food businesses section for more information.

Information on obtaining a license is available on Council's Food Business Licence web page.
