Food shop fit-outs

The design, construction, and fit-out of all food premises must comply with the Food Standards Code Chapter 3.2.3 as prescribed by the Food Act 2003.

The Waverley Council Policy for Fit-out and Construction of Food Premises provides a clear and concise guide on how a food business can be fitted out to ensure that it complies with the Food Act 2003 and Food Standards Code.

The Food Standards Code is a performance based standard which allows for a wide variety of methods for compliance. If you wish to implement an alternative solution that is not provided for within Waverley Council’s Policy for Fit-out and Construction of Food Premises, you will need to demonstrate how your proposed solution complies with Chapter 3.2.3 of the Food Standards Code.

Chapter 3 of the Food Standards Code can be accessed from the Food Standards Australia New Zealand website.
