Food and Health Related Business Registration Fees
Fees for food and health related business registration and renewal
All fees are inclusive of GST and must be paid at the time you lodge a request for registration.
Applications or requests submitted without the correct fee are returned to the applicant.
If you are a charity or community group you are entitled to a discount and pay only 25% of the regstration fee.
Registration fees include:
- Assessments of your plans by Environmental Health Officers.
- 2 progress inspections.
- A final inspection and certificate.
- An inspection within 3 months of opening to ensure everything is compliant.
Registration renewal fees for second and subsequent years of operation are significantly less than initial registration fee as the work needed to establish the business has been completed.
