This decision will be made by 7am on the day of event and stallholders/vendors will be notified of the decision by text message and also on our facebook page.
In the event that an event is cancelled in whole or part or ceases to operate, the stallholder acknowledges and agrees that they would not be entitled to a refund of stall fees paid.
“Force Majeure” means a circumstance beyond the reasonable control of a party, which results in the party being unable to perform an obligation on time, and is limited to (a) natural events like severe weather, fire, flood or earthquake; (b) vandalism; (c) national emergency; (d) terrorist attack; or (e) war.
If the event runs as planned, and the weather becomes too dangerous to trade in at any time, management will close the market at its own discretion. This will only happen in severe circumstances. Trading outdoors has inherent risks due to the unpredictable weather at times and therefore no refunds or credits will be issued in these circumstances.
Dogs in the park NSW recommend each stallholder has their own insurance which will cover them in these circumstances.
If the event is cancelled/postponed due to extreme wet weather prior, and grounds are deemed unusable, a transfer to a make up or future market will be offered, again, no refunds are given due to cancellation or postponement.

Guidelines for the Operation of Temporary Food Stalls
1. GENERAL
• Stallholders must comply with the Food Act 2003 (NSW) and any other applicable laws.
• All applications from stallholders selling food must also complete the enclosed food stalls section of this application form.
• A temporary food stall must have a roof and three sides designed to maintain adequate ventilation and protection to food. The open side of the stall should not face prevailing winds so to reduce odour, dust and insect problems
• If the stall is completely open, it may only sell certain foods. Please read the section on "Open Food Stalls" for more details.
• If a temporary food stall is erected on unsealed ground, a durable dust and moisture resistant cover must be laid over the entire floor area of the stall.
• The stall, its associated fixtures, fittings, equipment and those parts of vehicles used to transport food, must be kept clean, in good state of repair and working order, free from dirt, fumes, smoke, foul odours and other contaminants.
2. PROTECTION OF FOOD FROM CONTAMINATION
• People preparing, cooking and serving food must have clean hands. Also, any cuts, sores and abrasions must be covered with a clean waterproof dressing. Please read the section on "Hand and Equipment Washing Facilities" for more details.
• People who are sick or suffering from a cold or food borne illness must not work in a food stall. People suffering from diarrhoea, vomiting, sore throat/fever, jaundice or infectious skin conditions are not permitted to work in a food stall.
• Smoking is not permitted inside a food stall.
• The food preparation area must be kept free of dust borne contamination and droplet infection from the public coughing and sneezing.
• All food must be stored inside the stall at 300mm above the ground. Food must be kept suitably wrapped, packaged or in closed impervious containers, and protected from damage and direct sunlight.
• All food on display must be wrapped or packaged in appropriate material or completely enclosed in a suitable food display cabinet.
• Adequate measures must be taken to prevent cross contamination from raw foods to cooked foods by:
o using separate utensils for cooked and raw meats, poultry and seafood.
o covering all food.
o keeping cooked meat and salads separate from raw meats, poultry and seafood.
o washing hands after handling raw meats, poultry, seafood or vegetables.
• All condiments such as sauce and mustard must be kept in squeeze type dispensers or in individual sealed packs.
• Disposable eating and drinking utensils may be used. If reusable drinking and eating ware and tableware are used, they must be washed and sanitised in separate facilities (used only for that purpose) between uses.
• All eating utensils must be pre-wrapped in a paper napkin, cellophane bag or similar material before they are given to the public.
• Drinking straws, paper cups and spoons must be kept in an enclosed dispenser or other suitable container.
• Tea, coffee, cordial and other drinks must be served from an enclosed or lidded container with a tap or spout.
3. FOOD TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• All takeaway food prepared at the food stall must be sold immediately, unless there is a suitable food warmer or food display cabinet which will keep the food either hot or cold and at the correct temperature (see note below).
• Pre-prepared food products or pre-cooked foods which contain fresh cream, custard, trifle or any similar food that promotes bacterial growth, must not be sold from a food stall unless they are stored or displayed in a refrigerated unit at the correct temperature.
• All raw and perishable food such as steaks, hamburger patties, frankfurts and seafood, must be kept in a refrigerated unit at the correct temperature. Small amounts of these foods can be stored in a portable cooler, together with an adequate supply of ice or a cooling medium.
Note: Correct temperature means that:
• Hot food must be kept above 60°C.
• Cold food must be kept below 5°C.
4. COOKING
• Heating and cooking equipment should be located within the food stall and beneath its roof. Open flame barbecue cooking plates, gas barbeque plates, char grills and cookers that use hot coals are able to be placed along an open side of the stall but must be adequately screened or barricaded to protect public safety and prevent food from becoming contaminated.
• The food stall must be of suitable size and height to provide a safe and comfortable work area. Appliances that produce heat and flame must be located away from the walls and lower roof area.
• A fire extinguisher of suitable size and type and a fire blanket must be provided in a convenient and accessible position in every food stall or vehicle, where cooking or heating processes are undertaken.
5. HAND AND EQUIPMENT WASHING FACILITIES
The following equipment is required at each food stall:
Hand washing
• A dedicated hand basin serviced with hot and cold running water through a single outlet.
• Disposable paper hand towels and soap.
Equipment washing
• Two large plastic bowls for washing food preparation and service equipment (one bowl for washing and one for sanitising).
• An adequate supply of hot and cold running water and detergent.
• A suitable sanitising agent must be available for sanitising food handling implements and food contact surfaces. Where utensils are stored in a sanitising solution between uses, the solution shall be changed regularly to keep it clean.
• Waste water must be disposed into the sewer. Small amounts of water can be spread over a grassed area, and allowed to absorb or evaporate.
• Disposing of waste water into a watercourse, rainwater drain or the street gutter is not permitted.
6. RUBBISH DISPOSAL
• Adequate arrangements must be made to store and remove any garbage generated inside the food stall. Incorporate recycling especially for aluminum cans, cardboard, paper, glass and P.E.T. plastic bottles. This will reduce waste, reduce disposal costs and help our environment.
7. OPEN FOOD STALLS
• Open food stalls consisting of tables or tables and trestles, can only be used to sell food that is sealed in airtight containers, packages or cans.
• Open food stalls must not sell perishable food except for packaged milk, packaged milk products and pre-wrapped ice cream. These must be kept in a refrigerator or freezer unit at the correct temperature.
• Open food stalls must be screened or shielded to protect perishable food from direct sunlight.
• All pre-packaged food must have a label that shows the name and address of the organisation that packed the food; what food is commonly called; the ingredients in the food; and the date the food was packed.
