Agreement to Display

  • Agreement to Display Food Safety Rating

  • Between: Fraser Coast Regional Council

  • And:

  • Food Licence Number:

  • Fraser Coast Regional Council is conducting a food safety star rating scheme for licensed food businesses in accordance with the Food Safety Rating Guide. On a voluntary basis, the scheme allows for the display of information relating to audits of food premises in the form of star ratings.

    Under this agreement Council will issue a food safety rating to the Licensee through the allocation of, from not star to five stars in accordance with the criteria specified in the Food Safety Rating Guide. If the Licensee holds a current licence, has no outstanding Licence fees and has been rated no less than three stars, then the Licensee is eligible to voluntarily display its star rating at its premises and on an Eat Safe Fraser Coast website so it is readily visible to customers and potential customers.

    The Licensee consents to its star rating being published on Council's website (to the extent that it discloses confidential information) and indemnified Council against any claim as a result. The Licensee may revoke its consent by giving Council 10 business days notice in writing and within that time, Council must withdraw the rating from its website.

    The Licensee may remove its star rating from public display, however must immediately notify Council in writing of such removal.

    If the Licensee does not hold a current licence, has outstanding licence fees or is rated with less than three stars, then the Licensee must remove the star rating from public display immediately or within 5 business days from receipt of a notice by Council. If the star rating is not removed from public display, an authorised person employed by Council may enter the premises and remove the star rating.

    The star rating material will at all times remain the property, including the intellectual property, of Council.

    Any variation to this agreement must be agreed to in writing between the Licensee and Council.
