We ran a trial from 2022 to March 2024 to let approved mobile food vendors trade at selected locations on public land that's owned or managed by Council.
The trial has now ended, and we're asking for your feedback to help us plan next steps for mobile food options across our city.
If you visited a food truck or van at one (or more) of the locations below during the trial, we want to hear from you. Visit the Our Wollongong website to share your thoughts until 1 May 2024.
