Barkly Square Market Application

SELECTION CRITERIA
We aim to provide markets that are all-inclusive and accessible to all cohorts of the community. In order to fulfil the mission of the markets and meet customer expectations, priority will be given to stall holders who are local community businesses and organisations, with bespoke & handmade items, however we also permit non-local stall holders to bring more interest and customers to our market, and provide greater income opportunity for locals.

Approval of all applications is at the sole discretion of the Market Committee and all approvals will be based on the information given by the applicant on their application. The selection is based on product suitability, quality of the products, the demand of the product and the available space at our market venue. 

​All vendors MUST ​hold Public Liability Insurance for $20million AUD or more.

All food/drink vendors MUST hold a Statement of Trade (formerly known as Foodtrader) Registration - this includes selling cold food items such as confectionary, relishes, honey etc.  Applications can me made through this link - FoodTrader Registration.

* PLEASE NOTE: applications submitted without appropriate certifications will not be considered.

All stallholders MUST agree to abide by the Barkly Square Global Market Rules and Regulations and sign the Barkly Square Child Safe Code of Conduct - Market Stallholders. 

STALL INFORMATION

• Stall size is approximately 3m x 3m. You are welcome to purchase single stalls, or if you need more space you can purchase additional stall spaces. Depending on your stall location, you may have a U-shape 3m x 3m space, or an elongated 6m x 1m space (approximately). Please advise in your application if you have special requirements for your stall and the committee will endeavour to accommodate such requests where possible.  Once your application is received, you will be advised of your stall location in the weeks leading up to the market.
• Your stall may be located inside or outside, this will be confirmed prior to the event.  
• Stalls will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis from receiving applications, as long as applications meet all requirements as stipulated above.
• The organising committee will allocate stall locations, based on:      

           - safe accessibility for vendors, tenants, volunteers and visitors             
​          - the distribution of product types to ensure equitable opportunity                                    for all stall holders. For example, we will try not to place 2 jewellery                                stalls right next to each other (unless requested).                       

• Stallholders are responsible for providing all equipment, including marquees, tables, chairs, displays and trolleys to transport goods. Consider your stall size and ability to load into the space before arriving for the day. We encourage new stallholders to visit the space prior to the event to familiarise yourself. 
• Volunteers may provide assistance for stallholders at setup time - this can include providing directions and/or assisting with unloading in the loading zone, and monitoring goods while stallholders park their vehicles. Barkly Square does not provide equipment to transfer items to your stall space, so please be prepared and bring your own trolley or similar equipment. Volunteer numbers will vary from event to event. Stallholders are responsible for their own packdown at the end of the event - volunteers are not available for packdown. 
• Please advise if you have equipment that can not fit through a standard doorway, as this will impact where your stall can be located.
• The Winter Market will include stalls being located on Level 1 of the building - please advise of any accessibility requirements, or equipment that can not be transported in an elevator/stairs.
• Markets will proceed regardless of inclement weather, unless there is a significant risk posed to volunteers, stallholders and visitors. Please be prepared for all weather conditions. Barkly Square will endeavour to move stalls as required should rain/extreme heat be a concern.
