Food safety

Council is committed to working in partnership with the NSW Food Authority in addressing food related matters such as food premises inspections, safe food handling and food borne illness investigations. Part of this role is to provide advice to food business owners and operators on the requirements needed to be met in order to comply with the Food Act 2003 and the Food Standards Code.

In a region with a growing and diverse range of food businesses, Council aims to take both an educational and enforcement approach to food handling in an effort to maintain the health and safety of the community.
