Food Premise Inspections

All food businesses within South Australia are subject to routine food inspections by an Environmental Health Officer. Within the District Council of Franklin Harbour these inspections are undertaken on a random unannounced basis and the frequency of the inspections are determined using a risk rating approach.

Under the Food Act 2001, all businesses selling food are required to notify council.
