FoodTrader - Statement of Trade - URGENT

Food Trader Registration – (applicable to all food & beverage vendors)

If you haven’t already, please register your business on the Food Trader website. The event is registered as

Melbourne Italian Festa. Note that Food Trader replaces the old Streat Trader registrations. This needs to be

completed by Friday 20th September 2024.

Please follow this link https://foodtrader.vic.gov.au/user-guide/statements-of-trade/#section-1 for

instructions to register, or contact Food Trader direct via their website with any questions.

Note that if you have multiple stalls (i.e – if you have one inside and one outside) you will need to register each stall separately.

Follow this link to the FoodTrader guidelines document to ensure your stand is compliant and that you meet

all their requirements:

Cooking Equipment & LPGas

Note that if you are operating a BBQ or pizza oven these need to be placed under your marquee, or in a separate fenced off area.

This is a safety issue and City of Melbourne health will not approve your stand if this is not addressed. Contact us to make any arrangements if you are unsure.

Please notify us if you are using LPG by 20th September 2024. Ensure all gas appliances and bottles are

tested and in date. If you are planning to use gas, check out the code of practice for safe use of LPG at

events by clicking on the link. Note that each marquee with LPgas is not permitted to have more than

60kg of 15kg cylinder size bottles = 4 LPgas bottles at any one time. Note that council and safety officers

will be on duty checking all stalls.

Note that if you are planning to cook inside Royal Exhibition Building, this needs prior approval from Museums Victoria. Please notify with info of what cooking equipment you intend to use by 20th September 2024. Use of LPGas is not permitted inside REB.
