Point score totals are taken across the 4 criteria laid down in Council’s Food Hygiene Bylaw, covering the factors of ‘Premise, Practices, Cleaning and Training’, each having a scale between 1 and 5. The scores are added together to give a points total, maximum points available being 20, with the higher the score, the better the premise.
Example
A well-run lunch bar scoring 20 points. Take the weighting (in this case 100), divided by the score of 20 points gives a risk factor of 5 which determines their grading (1-5 ‘A’ grade; 6-10 ‘B’ grade; 11-25 ungraded. Their points score of 20 determines the registration fee paid. This premise would have their registration fee calculated as follows:
Fee = (Risk Factor 5 x Degree of Risk 15) + $170 + GST = $275.65) rounded up 50 cents, to $276.00
If the same lunch bar was poorly operated and had a risk factor of 10 the fee would be:
Fee = (Risk Factor 10 x Degree of Risk 20) + $170 + GST = $416.25 rounded up 50 cents, to $416.50 |
