Cardinia Shire Council is seeking expressions of interest from mobile coffee, drink and ice-cream business owners, who are interested in trading inside Officer’s new regional park.
Council is offering two exclusive site-specific roadside trading permits to one coffee or drink truck and one ice-cream truck, who are interested in operating inside the new regional park located on Lansell Avenue, Officer from 18 December 2024 to 30 April 2025.
These permits will be issued in a prime location for the summer season as residents, families and visitors from outside of Cardinia Shire plan to visit the new regional park.
To apply and be considered, you must:
- Own and operate a mobile drink, coffee or ice-cream business, which includes vans and trucks
- Be willing to trade on both Saturdays and Sundays
- Provide copies of relevant registration, licenses, certificates and documentation as part of the application process
- Provide a suitable receptacle for the disposal of rubbish and removal from site.
This expression of interest is only open to coffee vans, drinks vans or ice-cream trucks. No food trucks are currently being considered for permits at this location.
Applications will be reviewed by a panel and will be assessed against relevant criteria and the answers provided in the questionnaire. Feedback will be provided to applicants and successful applicants will be contacted directly in mid-December 2024.
If successful, the permit to operate inside the park is $426 and will be valid from 18 December 2024 – 30 April 2025.
To operate a business at this location, you will be required to have the relevant permit and only two permits will be issued as part of this expression of interest to support the park’s opening. No additional onsite trading will be permitted, and penalties may apply.
Applications are now open and will close on Sunday 8 December 2024 at 5pm.
