If you are a business based in Kingborough and you are intending to operate a food stall regularly within Kingborough or in any other Council area, you will need to apply for a Statewide Mobile Food Business Licence. If you fall into this category, please fill this form out and send back to Kingborough Council so the Environmental Health Officer can assess your application.

Council has no arrangement whereby the public can reserve public areas for weddings. Once we are notified of your wedding ceremony, a notation is made on our calendar to provide a record of who is likely to use the area; this will help minimise any potential clashes with other weddings or events. However, not everyone notifies Council of their wedding ceremony, and more than one wedding in a public area may occur.

Council’s requirements are:

• the area must remain accessible to the public at all times;
• area is to be left in a clean and tidy condition after the event;
• confetti, rice, or similar, is not to be used; and
• order to prevent any broken glass, all drinks should be served from non-breakable drinking vessels.
