More coffee and quick eats are on the way, with Frankston City mobile food vans set to expand across multiple locations from 1 June 2026, following an announcement by Frankston City Council. The rollout includes a new licensed site at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve food van location, introduced after community feedback.
Council said the expanded program follows its latest Expression of Interest process and is based on updated Mobile Food Van Guidelines shaped by community and vendor feedback in 2023 and 2025. The aim, according to Council, is to support small businesses while improving access to food and coffee services in public spaces.
Riviera Car Park Operator Receives Licence Extension
Council highlighted Riviera Car Park Seaford coffee van operator Rolling Mugshot, run by Jimmy Abou-Karroum, and confirmed he has been offered a three-year licence extension. Under the new agreement, the business will operate mornings, seven days a week, from 1 June.
Council said the operator held a community event last year that raised $850 for Theodora’s Cheerful Givers, which supports people experiencing hardship in the Seaford area.
This community has supported me from the start. I love talking to people, that’s why I do this. I’m grateful to be able to stay and keep building those connections.
Mayor Comments On Program Purpose
Council said Mayor Sue Baker described Frankston City Council food vans as playing an important role in creating vibrant community spaces and supporting local entrepreneurs who are testing business ideas before moving into permanent premises.
Mobile food vans play a valuable role in shaping vibrant, welcoming destinations across Frankston City.
