A CONVOY of mobile food trucks could be heading for Bert Wright Park in Bayswater.

StrEats is looking to locate six food trucks in the park as part of the council’s 12-month mobile food trial.

The companies proposed are Comida Do Sul Brazilian Food Truck, Miam Miam (A bite of France), Rancho Sombrero, Uncle Chops Smokehouse, Bootlegger Coffee Co, and Greek Street Grill.

StrEats has applied for a three-month permit. Officers recommend the vans be located in the park parallel to Hamilton Street.

The council’s mobile food trial got off to a slow start with just two vendors—Annie’s Wood Fired Pizza in Bardon Park and a van proposing to sell coffee and biscuits at Wright Park—signing up after four months.

Cool Breeze Cafe co-owner Georgia Johnson says the $1500 yearly permit—nearly double what neighbouring Vincent charges—had contributed to the low take up. The mobile food van permits will be voted on later this month.
