Community groups use events to sell food as a means of fundraising.
This information is for clubs, church groups, charities or not-for-profit groups wanting to sell food from a temporary or portable site. This could include a sausage sizzle, cake stall or fete/fair or market stall.
There are different levels of registration or notification depending on the risk and type of food you are selling.
Class 4 food
Class 4 is food which poses low risk to public health.
You
will need to use FoodTrader to notify us that
you are selling this type of food.
Bunnings BBQs
There
is no need to notify us if you are conducting a simple sausage sizzle at
one of the Bunnings sites within the City of Greater Geelong.
Bunnings
notifies us of the groups attending their BBQs and
nothing further is required by the community groups.

you are conducting a Bunnings BBQ outside the boundaries of the City of Greater Geelong,
like Torquay or Werribee you may be required to lodge a FoodTrader application or Statement of Trade and you
should make contact with the principal council.
