City extends food truck trial due to success

The extension will see the trial expanded to all wards and will run through summer and until June 2018. During this time, the food truck operating model will be further refined, in respect to the best trading locations and times.

Following the findings, an updated food truck model will be presented to Council within the first six months of next year, so a refined model can be launched in July 2018.

The trial from the first half of this year found 98.5% of residents supported food truck trading within the City, and nearly 80% were keen to see vendors trade all year round.

The trial also indicated residents were exploring different places within the City, with more than 70% of residents surveyed saying they would not have gone to that location if the food truck was not there.
