The very next Friday, Goulburn was scheduled to receive a visit from a small number of food trucks from out of town.
Contrary to an understanding held by some members of the community, council's involvement in such visits is minimal.
The food trucks are registered with council for this approved activity on an annual basis.
Unless there has been an approach by the food trucks to make use of public land, council is unaware of a planned visit.
The visit on Friday, July 31 was to make use of privately-owned sites.
Following meetings at the last minute between representatives of the local business community and the owners of the sites, and requests by both parties to the food truck operators, the programmed visit was postponed to a yet-to-be announced date.
The chamber very much appreciates this decision by the food truck operators and the local businesses involved.
With the drought, bushfires and COVID-19, there has been well over six months of unprecedented pressure on business, particularly those in the food and beverage sector of the hospitality industry.
