• Food vendors must adhere to Northern Beaches Council Event Waste Management Guidelines. Plastic and polystyrene products and packaging, including drinking cups, food containers, drinking straws and stirrers, cutlery, plates or any single use plastic must not be used or distributed at this event. Prohibited single-use plastic includes “bio-plastic”, “biodegradable plastic”, “degradable plastic” or “compostable plastic” products. Some plastic products are certified compostable, but they are prohibited because they behave like any other disposable plastic in the environment in the unfortunate event that they are littered. Any products sold or distributed must be reusable, or comprised of biodegradable or recyclable material. Please see Council's waste minimisation for functions and events policy.

Please complete the application form below by Monday 4 August 2025.
