Plumtree Town (Hawkers and Vendors) By-laws, 2025

These by-laws licence hawkers, vendors and flea market traders in the Plumtree Town area and set the conditions of trading: control of hawkers, vendors and flea markets, employers' licences, land set aside for people's markets, applications for bays, stalls and tables, medical certificates of health, restrictions and conditions, renewal, refusal and cancellation, inspection, hygiene and food safety, waste removal, replacement of lost licences, change of address, the appearance of vending bays, and seizure and disposal of unclaimed goods.

Where a hawker, vendor or stall holder engaged by a licence holder has a contagious or infectious disease, the council directs the holder in writing to stop using that person in the sale of food, and cancels the licence if the direction is not obeyed at once. A temporarily withdrawn licence is returned at no extra charge on production of a Medical Certificate of Health issued after the withdrawal certifying that the person is no longer infected, and any cancelled or withdrawn licence must be returned immediately.

A health officer or specially authorised person may inspect at any reasonable time any food cart, container, stall, bay, storage premises, clothing or equipment used in the business, checking cleanliness, fire precautions and compliance; obstruction is prohibited. Traders must keep everything clean, must not sell unsound or unwholesome food, must protect food from dirt, dust and flies, must not sell food while knowingly infected, and must not use food equipment for other purposes.

The extract available here was truncated before the fee and penalty schedules, so those amounts should be read in the instrument itself.
