Matt Levinson, Culture Policy Lead at the Committee for Sydney: 
 
“With some of Sydney’s best food being served up by food trucks and market stalls, this is a fantastic step forward. 
 
“Putting in place a one-and-done system will make it simple and easy for food trucks, market stalls and other startup food operators to set up all over Sydney. 
 
“Street food operators have been forced to criss-cross the city getting a different permit for every suburb they want to operate in.
 
“This simplification will save countless street food vendors precious time and money that can be put back into building their businesses.
 
“One of the jobs of good government is to simplify and streamline policy settings that are getting in the way of great things, and this one’s the policy equivalent of a one-pot meal – easy, efficient and ultimately delicious.
