Change of Details or Significant Amendments to your Food Business

You need to notify South Taranaki District Council if there are any change in details or significant amendments to your food business. For example, a change of premises, trading name, or the scope of your operation.

If you are a new operator of a business and make changes to the types of food sold or staff changes, or the old operator takes their Food Control Plan with them, then a new registration application is required. Use the Business Connect Portal here.

Fees for processing the amendment (including any site visit) are charged at 30-minute increments at Council’s rate of $180 per hour. If the changes are minor, such as a new phone number or email address, there will be no charge.

If you are changing the scope of your operation by making or selling different types of food, this may result in your operation being a different level of National Programme or requiring a Food Control Plan.

You should check the ‘My Food Rules?’ tool available on the Ministry for Primary Industries website here.

Download the form below and email to regservices@stdc.govt.nz once complete.
