FOOD HANDLING AND SAFETY
MICE Exhibitors may only serve the following food and beverages during the show:
Beverages: Coffee – hot or cold, with or without milk; tea – hot or cold, with or without milk, other beverages.
Food: Pre-packaged, individually wrapped samples only i.e. – individually wrapped lollies, chocolates and cookies intended for consumption off-site only.
To legally operate a temporary or mobile food premises in Victoria exhibitors must:
1. Register or notify the exhibitor’s temporary and mobile food premises with their local council in order to operate anywhere in Victoria.
2. Lodge a Statement of Trade (SOT) to let all relevant councils know where and when the exhibitor will be trading in their districts. In the case of MICE2017, exhibitors serving beverages such as coffee or tea, or pre-packaged sample food will need to register with the council on the Streatrader website and submit a statement of trade to the City of Melbourne to operate their temporary food/drink stall.
Streatrader is an online system for traders to register and notify temporary and mobile food premises in Victoria. Streatrader is for food businesses and community groups that sell food from a temporary site, such as a stall, van, trailer, community hall or vending machine.
Exhibitors can use Streatrader to:
• Find out whether a van, stall, vending machine or water transport vehicle needs to be registered or notified and if any costs are incurred with this process.
• Determine the food premise class of their stall and what needs to be done. There are four classes of food premises. Class 1 deals with the highest risk food and Class 4 the lowest. Coffee and tea with or without milk is considered Class 3. Pre-packaged, individually wrapped items that are non-hazardous and can be stored at room temperature are considered Class 4.
• Find out which council is the principal council and main Food Act contact.
• Register with or notify one council to operate anywhere in Victoria.
• Submit a Statement of Trade to each council in whose district the exhibitor will be trading. This process then automatically notifies and provides a copy to the principal council. When the exhibitor applies through Streatrader, the principal council will receive the statewide application automatically and will make contact with the exhibitor directly.

Once in Streatrader, follow the instructions and answer the questions. Ensure all food and or beverages to be sold or given away at the stall are taken into account. After the Streatrader application has been submitted, a payment form based on the premise classification will be sent to the nominated email. The option to choose annual, quarterly or weekly registration will be provided. The application will be processed once payment is received and an assessment of the exhibitor’s premises is undertaken if applicable.
Please allow 21 days for the registration/notification to be processed.
An exhibitor cannot trade until the premises has been registered/notified. Lodging an SOT ensures that an exhibitor has complied with the Food Act. Not doing so is an offence.

This includes any exhibitors who serve food like dairy, meat, fish, chicken, milk or soy. Each exhibitor must have a digital probe thermometer and must record the temperatures on the food safety program template. Digital temperature displays on equipment are not considered sufficient. The probe thermometer must be washed and sanitised in between use. This can be done either through immersion in hot water >77ºC for 30 seconds or with an alcohol swab. Probe thermometers can be bought from a hardware or home ware shop.
Please note that food vendors handling unpackaged food will require hand-washing facilities in their stall. This includes any exhibitor serving hot beverages (i.e. coffee/tea). Hand sanitisers and gloves can be used in addition to hand washing facilities but not as a replacement.

EQUIPMENT WASHING
Equipment washing facilities are required if you are washing any equipment at your food stall. The only equipment that should be washed at your temporary food stall should be utensils, such as milk jugs, spoons, cups etc. The equipment washing facility must be separate to the hand washing facility.
Food stalls can use the following as equipment washing facilities:• A sealed container with a tap outlet, filled with warm water.• A water heating device (such as an urn or kettle) to heat water., with a bucket for the collection of waste
water and washing detergent and sanitiser.
The Event Organisers have arranged for equipment-washing stations in the venue for your use. However, if you will require equipment washing facilities for continual use during the show hours, please arrange your own on your stand as per the requirements above.
PROTECTION OF FOOD
Do not store foods directly on the floor. You can use shelving, tables, milk crates etc., to lift food off the floor. Milk must be kept in cold storage units.
Please ensure all cold storage equipment (refrigerators, display units, eskies, foam containers etc.) storing high-risk foods are set to below 5ºC. Do not overfill refrigerators to ensure the temperature remains below 5ºC.
If using eskies or foam containers to store goods, ensure a sufficient amount of loose ice is available to keep the goods below 5ºC. Block ice is not acceptable. In addition, milk in eskies must be tightly packed to ensure water from melting ice is not able to contaminate the goods.
FIRE SAFETY
Each exhibitor must have on his or her stand an approved and tested dry powder fire extinguisher. Do not block or lock fire exits, aisles or access to fire appliances, including extinguishers, hydrants or reels. Familiarise yourself with the nearest fire appliance, exit and all emergency procedures. Building materials subject to fire risk are to be avoided when planning show displays. All fire outlets must remain clear at all times. Overhead banners, signs, stage display sets, scenery or themes must be non-flammable. No helium-inflated balloons are allowed on site unless they are firmly anchored to the show stand. Cost to retrieve balloons will be charged to the exhibitor.

Participating in a trade show or exhibition? The next step is to arrange transport & logistics of your goods to the show.
Transport and freight may be one of your last considerations when participating in an exhibition. However, it is critical to the success of the show, given that if your display goods do not arrive – or arrive damaged – your investment in the show is wasted. Choose your transport provider wisely. We have been appointed as the official and preferred logistics company by the organizer for their shows.
Agility Fairs &
Events Common
Carrier
Is your transport carrier a specialized exhibition logistics provider with over 15 year’s industry experience? Does your transport carrier provide an all inclusive service – door to stand and everything in between? Will your transport company deliver and collect after hours and on weekends? Does your transport company provide a dedicated Exhibition Coordinator as a single point of contact to work with you at every step for the duration of the entire show? Does your transport company provide sample consignment notes to assist you with pick up requirements and provide specific exhibition labels to attach to your freight? Does your transport company monitor your freight’s daily movements in the supply chain - from the time of pick up to delivery at your stand? Does your transport company work with the show organizers to develop move in schedules to minimize delays on the loading dock? Does your transport company provide forklifts, pallet jacks and trolleys on site during move in and move out? Does your transport company have a Site Manager at the venue to accept delivery of your goods, unload them and deliver to your stand in readiness for your arrival? Does your carrier work outside of normal business hours and on weekends, to meet tight exhibition deadlines to ensure your goods are taken care of?
If using your own transport company:
You need to be present at time of delivery to sign for your goods. Transport companies generally will not release the goods unless an authorized representative signs as proof of delivery. This may alter your travel plans if you were not planning to be at the event until later and may also result in additional costs such as travel and accommodation. It may also delay the delivery of your freight to the stand.
For liability reasons, Agility staff cannot sign on your behalf.
If your truck is delayed in the queue at the loading dock, it is likely that you will be charged waiting fees (demurrage). This may add significantly to your overall transport costs.
Common carriers only handle door to door transport. You will be responsible for packing your freight, shrink-wrapping and securing your goods, affixing labels, completing consignment notes and making all necessary transport arrangements – don’t get caught out if your transport company doesn’t operate at night or weekends.
Benefits of Using Agility Fairs & Events for your Exhibition Logistics
Benefits of using AGILITY FAIRS + EVENTS
Convenient, one-stop-shop service for all your exhibition logistics.
We are a specialized exhibition logistics provider, not a common carrier. In fact, exhibitions are our only business!
We work as a team with the expo organizer, the venue and other service providers, to offer you a seamless service through collaborative efforts.
As the official logistics contractor, we have the ability to secure early delivery into the venue, to ensure your goods arrive as early as possible giving you more time to set up your stand.
You don’t need to be there to accept delivery. Our Site Manager and team will be on-site to accept delivery of your goods, unload, disburse and deliver your freight to your stand in readiness for your arrival.
We understand that post shows, there are flights to catch, clients to meet or you are just tired and wish to retreat for the day. Once move out arrangements are confirmed with us, you are free to leave the exhibition.
When it comes to exhibition logistics, are you really comparing apples to apples? We assure you excellent and effective service throughout the whole process to make your exhibition experience is a positive one.
Please talk to us for a quote.
We have offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth
