Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a stall? $20 (per day) from Tuesday to Friday (3pm starts) and $50 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays (12pm starts). Additionally, an initial one off payment of $20 is required for registration the first time a stall holder trades.
Is it easy to get a casual stall? As the market runs 6 nights a week, we rarely turn any stall holders away because we are full.
Can I sell anything? Preference will be given to locally made handcrafted goods. There are a few product restrictions please read points 5 and 10 of the "Trading Rules and Regulations". No more jewellery or sunglass stalls are accepted. No food or drink stalls at all are permitted.
How big are the stalls? We are situated in a prime location where space is limited therefore our stall sizes may be a bit smaller than you are used to. However, traders soon adapt with helpful suggestions from the regulars. The stall sizes do vary but most are around 2.8 metres by 1.5 metres.
Do you rent out tables and equipment? We do not, you must bring all your own tables and equipment. Please read point 6 of the "Trading Rules and Regulations".

The BBCNM is not accepting any more jewellery products or sunglasses whatsoever. No trading is allowed outside of the market area or market trading times. The market area falls under an alcohol free zone. Under no circumstances is alcohol to be consumed by stall holders.
6. Presentation and equipment Requirements
All of your equipment, stock etc must be within your allocated space at all time.
The BBCNM has no equipment for hire - all traders must supply their own tables, racks, lights etc before they can trade. Presentation is very important as the market is located in a public place, please note: milk crates/bread trays, cardboard boxes etc are not permitted anywhere on the site.
Please ensure that your stall is safely set up and not a hazard to passers by as you are personally responsible for your site, equipment etc; traders should have their own public liability insurance, but this is not required at present.
Tables used in the market must be not higher than one metre tall and must be covered with a table cloth.
Tall structures such as marquees and tents are limited due to the space restriction. It is recommended you do not set up your structure on your first trading day. Please check with the manager if you wish to use your structure on any subsequent days.
Please bring emergency covering (i.e. plastic sheeting) for your stall in case of rain - there is no shelter available on the market site and market stalls are not permitted to shelter in front of the shops.
There are no power points available, silent generators or deep-cycle batteries can be used.
7. Rubbish
It is a council regulation that every stall holder must leave their site & surrounding area clean and clear of all rubbish on departure, this includes your cigarette butts if you are a smoker. No rubbish is to be put in private or business bins in the vicinity of the market.
Council regulations require market stall holders to use recyclable or biodegradable packaging, polystyrene packaging or plastic bags are not allowed.
8. Permanent stall-holders
Permanent stall holders have half-an-hour (after the market start up time) to turn up and claim their spots.
There are at present 13 permanent stall holders. At the moment we are no longer taking on any more permanent stall holders. However, in the future if the situation changes casual stall holders will be informed by the market manager. The criteria for selection of new permanent stall holders include: trading regularly throughout the whole year, product type and adherence to the rules.

Busking is not permitted in the area of the BBCNM at any time under Council regulations and licensing laws. This is a residential area and no one is permitted to generate sound louder than 5dBA over background noise levels.
