The Shire of Katanning launched their new mobile community food trailer on Wednesday 4 November 2020. The trailer was on display for local Katanning businesses to view and nominate a business or community group into a draw to win the first hire of the trailer free of charge.

The trailer will provide easy access to a resource that will grow and support food businesses and community groups in town. Bruce Manning, Chief Executive Officer of the Great Southern Development Commission and Liz Guidera, Katanning Shire President, proudly presented the new mobile food trailer and invited the community to explore the interior.

Katanning is known for its diverse community and variety of foods from around the world which is showcased during the annual Katanning Harmony Festival in March drawing large crowds every year.

The Shire of Katanning’s small business support program has had success in supporting the community in developing their local food businesses. The food trailer will be a means to support locals by providing a mechanism to expand their food businesses and reduce economic risk along the way.

The Shire of Katanning’s food trailer is funded by the Great Southern Development Commission and was designed and built by Elross Caravans and Mobile Solutions.
