All food businesses in Holroyd should complete the food business registration form and send it to Council to keep their details up to date.
In the 2008/2009 Financial Year Council will charge:
If a serious breach is identified Council will issue an Improvement Notice which includes the administration fee. This fee covers the cost to Council of preparing the Improvement Notice and one inspection to check the issues identified in the Improvement Notice have been addressed. This fee has been prescribed in the Food Act and Regulations.
Previously, Council charged a yearly fee based on the size of the business. This inspection fee was only charged once regardless of the number of inspections undertaken during the year.
Council takes food safety seriously and inspects all premises selling food in Holroyd.
If you have any questions about food safety call the Environmental Health Unit on 9840 9840.
