    the growth of pathogenic or toxigenic organisms as described in Australia and New
    Zealand Food Standards Code, Standard 3.2.2;

    (c) preparation of acidified/fermented foods or drinks that are ready to eat and have a high
    level of acidity required to keep food safe, acid may be naturally present or added or

    other gases for food safety or to increase shelf life of the food;

    (iii) any food processing activity which does not involve the use of temperature

Tobacco – Outdoor Food/Drink

  • Does the premises have an outdoor dining area?

  • Is the outdoor dining area an enclosed area? (Refer to the Smoke Free Workplace Guide for calculating an enclosed workplace)

  • *****Calculating smoking permission*****

    Step1 Does area have roof?
    Does the roof impede airflow? If so, the area should be regarded as having a roof. As a guide, if half of the area is covered then the area may be considered to have a roof.

    Step 2 Total notational wall area
    Calculate the total wall surface area that is required to enclose all walls up to the lowest point of the roof along the perimeter of the roofline – this will give you the your “total notational wall area”

    Step 3 Total actual wall area
    Work out the actual wall area that exists. If a wall prevents or significantly impedes lateral airflow in an area, despite any openings or gaps in the wall, those openings should be disregarded in assessing the total actual area of the wall surface.

    Step 4 Compare your actual wall area as a percentage of your total notational wall area. If the amount is 75% or less, smoking is permitted. If the amount is more than 75%, smoking is not permitted.

  • Is the outdoor dining area separated from an outdoor drinking area by a 4 metre buffer zone or a wall at least 2.1 metres high?

  • Is there a ‘No smoking in outdoor dining area’ sign displayed at the entry to, or within the outdoor dining area?

  • Is smoking occurring within the outdoor dining area?

  • Does the premises have an outdoor drinking area?

  • Is the outdoor drinking area an enclosed area? (Refer to the Smoke Free Workplace Guide for calculating an enclosed area)
