Ipswich City Council has introduced pre-approved locations to encourage licenced Food Trucks to trade in the region and do so more easily. To book these locations, a Food Truck Site Licence is required to access the pre-approved location booking tool.
Food Truck Site Licence
- If you wish to use the new Food Truck booking tool which allows you to book pre-approved trading locations within Ipswich City Council boundaries, then you will require a Food Truck Site Licence.
- These are licences issued on an annual basis.
- The amount payable for a Food Truck licence will be $110 maximum for the 2024-2025 financial year. Council will advise you at the time of application on the actual amount payable if required.
- To apply for the Food Truck Site Licence, you will require a copy of your food business licence, $20 Million Public Liability certificate of currency, food truck menu, photograph and logo of your food truck.
- Applications can be completed via online application form or downloading and printing the application form.
- Have a question? We have captured the most frequently asked questions Food Truck Operators have when applying for a Food Truck Site Licence or wish to book a location.
- If you need more information, please contact council’s Customer Service Team on (07) 3810 6666 or email foodtrucks@ipswich.qld.gov.au
