A food business is any person or organisation that sells food or drink. In Wyndham, all food businesses must be registered with Wyndham City and follow regulations to ensure that the food they sell is safe to eat.

To register your food business, you will need to complete the following:

• Step 1: Check if you need a Planning Permit and/or Building Permit: Prior to making an application you need to obtain all relevant Planning and Building Permits.  If a Planning or Building Permit is required, do not commence any work on the premises until you have received the required permits.
• Step 2: You need to determine the class of your food premises. Refer to New Food Premises or New Food Premises Classification System to determine what class of food premises will apply based on your level of risk. You may wish to confirm your classification with an Environmental Health Officer to avoid delays in your application. The class types are Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4 and Sporting Clubs.
• Step 3: Submit your optional Plan Assessment Form. Please allow a minimum of 10 working days to process the application. The inspection is conducted to determine if the proposed food premises comply with the requirements under the Food Act 1984 and Australian Food Standards Code.  
• Step 4: Final inspection and application for registration - Complete the Application for Registration of a Food Premises Form and pay the relevant  fee. Please allow a minimum of 10 working days to process the application and to schedule an inspection.
