Environmental Health

The Shire of Goomalling provides a range of environmental health services including in relation to pool safety, food safety, disability access, mosquito and other pest control, wastewater management and waste facilities.

Food

If your business or organisation has anything to do with food (producing/serving/selling) you must register that business/organisation via the food premises notification form.

FoodSafe Online is a Food Handler Training Program provided by Environmental Health Australia (Western Australia). This is a fully online course with training videos and questions. Goomalling residents can access this course free of charge (normally $35) with Discount Voucher “FSGOOMA369”. Once you have successfully completed the course, you will receive a certificate which we require a copy of for our records.

Under the Food Safety Standards Australia New Zealand Standard 3.2.2 Food Safety Practices and General Requirements, owners of food businesses are responsible for making sure that people who handle food or food contact surfaces in their business, and the people who supervise this work, have the skills and knowledge they need to handle food safely. Volunteers who handle food for their clubs and organisations are also encouraged to complete the training.

Anyone who intends to serve food at public events, whether as a permanent business or temporary such as food stalls/community organisations, are required to notify the Shire via the Application for Temporary Food Stall. This notification form is required for each event.

Events

Business, community groups or individuals that are hosting events that are open to the public must notify council via an Event Notification Form. Private events do not require an event notification form.

Again, anyone who intends to serve food at public events, whether as a permanent business or temporary such as food stalls/community organisations, are required to notify the Shire via the Application for Temporary Food Stall. This notification form is required for each event.
