What Makes Sydney's Kitchen Scene Different
Sydney's commercial kitchen market has a distinct character compared to other Australian cities. The standout feature? A genuine focus on social enterprise. FoodLab Sydney isn't just another kitchen rental—it's a non-profit specifically designed to help refugees, Aboriginal Australians, and women break into the food industry. That mission-driven approach influences the whole market here.
Pricing in Sydney reflects both demand and location. You'll find rates anywhere from A$25/hour for basic shared space in the outer suburbs to A$110/hour for premium CBD-adjacent facilities. Most operators land somewhere in the A$40-70 range for decent equipped space with reasonable access to delivery zones.
Where to Look
Inner West (Marrickville, Alexandria): This is where you'll find the highest concentration of shared kitchens. Good delivery coverage to the CBD and Eastern Suburbs, though parking can be a nightmare. CloudKitchens has a presence here.
Strathfield South: FoodLab's 150 sqm facility is here—more affordable rates and a supportive community, but you're further from high-density delivery areas.
Botany: Industrial area with larger facilities. Better for production-focused operations than delivery-first ghost kitchens.
Getting Compliant
NSW Food Authority requirements are strict, but most commercial kitchens handle the facility-level compliance for you. You'll still need your own Food Safety Supervisor certificate, ABN, and liability insurance (A$10-20M is standard). Council registration can take 2-4 weeks, so factor that into your timeline.
