Find out more information about these services in this section of the website.

Caravan Park Regulations

Under section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993, Caravan Parks are required to have approval to operate

Cooling Towers

Cooling water systems (i.e. cooling towers) provide efficient cooling for large buildings such as offices, shopping centres and some industrial businesses.

Food Safety at Home

Food poisoning is not always from the last restaurant, takeaway or café you ate out at. Quite often, food poisoning occurs in the home. Find out how you can keep you and your family safe by clicking on the links below.

Free Online Food Safety Training Now Available

All food businesses have obligations and Federation Council is assisting food businesses to meet their obligations by providing free access to this exciting new training tool.

Hairdressing, Beauty & Skin Penetration Businesses

Businesses and persons providing hairdressing, barber, beauty, body piercing and tattooing services are inspected by local council’s to ensure they operate in a hygienic manner and the risk of skin infections and blood-borne disease is reduced.

Retail Food Businesses

Local food businesses that serve food to the public are regulated by Federation Council and/or the NSW Food Authority to ensure the food they are preparing and selling is safe for consumption. It is important that food businesses maintain good hygiene practices to avoid illness and food poisoning outbreaks.

Sewage and Septic Systems

Council is implementing a new Strategy to reduce the public health and environmental risks posed by on-site sewage management systems in our community. Onsite sewage management systems (such as septics) process wastewater generated from the household where the property is not connected to Council’s reticulated sewerage system.

Environmental and Public Health Complaints

Federation Council regularly responds to complaints about pollution incidences, environmental nuisances, animal management and public health issues arising from residential, commercial or industrial properties.
