    Term                 Definition / Wording
                         a current Qld/Interstate Annual Temporary Food Business Licence or
                         equivalent.
    Restoration fee      Is a statutory charge that can be applied to food business licences that
                         have expired. The payment of restoration fee and renewal fee within 30
                         days of the expiry of the licence enables the licence to be renewed
                         negating the need to apply for a new food business, cease operating or
                         penalized for operating without a food business licence.

Refunds

Refunds of application fees, registrations, permits and approval fees are at the discretion of Council officers
and will only be considered in the following circumstances:

•     Refund due to error: refunded only where a fee has been charged in error by Council or where an
      applicant has paid more fees than are required (overpayment or double payment) via consideration of
      documentation. A change of mind by the applicant is not an error.
•     Refund due to extenuating circumstances: Council may refund fees due to extenuating circumstances if
      the applicant can demonstrate the circumstances and provide documentary evidence for consideration.
