Register food business premises
To operate a food business in the North Sydney area, you must first register with Council.
Please note, you cannot prepare food for sale at home unless you have a Complying Development Certificate or Development Consent. If you do not have Council consent to prepare food for sale at home, you must rent or use a commercial kitchen.
If you want to alter the design or layout of your food premises, refer to this Food Premises - Design, Construction and Fit-out Guide.
To register your food business, you will need to supply the following information about your business:
- name of business owner
- business address
- type of business
- type of food
- name of your Food Safety Supervisor, if required
- location of all food premises used by your business.
You must also notify us of any changes to your business details or of a change of ownership.
Failure to register your food business may result in a Penalty Infringement Notice (fine).
Please note, all food businesses will be charged an annual administration fee.
