GOODS ALLOWED TO BE SOLD     [Top]

Second-hand goods or goods hand crafted by you are the only type of products allowed in the market. Specifically, new goods, factory seconds or samples are NOT allowed to be sold, except for the odd product of yours which you have not used (e.g. an unwanted present or an item you have bought for which you have no use). Note that food is NOT allowed to be sold, nor vegetable produce but flowers or plants grown by you are allowed.

ARRIVAL TIME     [Top]

Please arrive between 5.30am and 7.00am. Soon after 7am, we re-let stalls of those stallholders who have not arrived, to others, with no refund to the original stallholder.

ARRIVAL PROCEDURE     [Top]

The market is in Station Street Camberwell (see Melway Ref: 45 J 12) and operates in the carpark on the western side of Station Street. When arriving, please approach from Prospect Hill Road (northern end of Station Street), then drive 100 metres down Station Street, to where you will see “witches hats” and “bollards” in the middle of Station Street directing you into the market. ENTRY FROM THE SOUTHERN END OF STATION STREET IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED!!
Our staff is located at this point to check-in stallholders. When you see us there, just quote the stall number you have been given. We will give you your stall ticket (which is designed to act as a Tax Invoice if required), we will show you where your stall is, and we will give you a leaflet highlighting operational matters of the market.

EQUIPMENT HIRE     [Top]

If required, you can hire trestle tables and coat racks on the morning from a hiring contractor at the market, before you set up your stall.

The hiring charge for Coat Racks or 6' (1800mm) trestle tables is $8.00 per item, while the 8' (2400mm) trestle table hire fee is $10.00. NOTE: A $20 refundable deposit is required and a driver’s licence ID shown for security purposes.

CAR PARKING     [Top]

You can either leave your car on your stall and trade from behind your car, or you can unload your goods at your stall and park your car (at no cost) for the morning at one of two carparks the Council supplies for stallholder parking. The location of these carparks is shown on the leaflet we give you as you check in on arrival (see point 3 above).
Either way, you initially drive to your stall and then it is your decision whether you leave your car on your stall, or take your car to the carparks.

STALL DIMENSIONS:     [Top]


The STALL SIZE is 5.5 metres DEEP by 2.5 metres WIDE. White dots on the pavement in front of your stall indicate the distance you may extend your stall into the aisle. The stalls # 401 to # 416 are about 35% larger than the normal stalls at the same price.

MARKET LAYOUT:    [Top]
:
The "map" of the market showing the layout of stalls and otehr information can be seen by clicking here. It is a PDF file which will open in another window and the diagram can be "zoomed" in or out (and also can be saved or printed off)

RUBBISH     [Top]

You are required to take with you any rubbish on your stall at the end of your visit, and leave the area as you found it!

MARKET CLOSEDOWN     [Top]

Trading MUST stop at 12.30pm. Everyone has to be totally packed by 1.00pm. This timing is a critical element of the licence agreement between the Rotary Club of Balwyn and the Council for the use of this area for the market. We insist this timing be adhered to, so that the tenure of the area for the market is not jeopardised.

STALL PAYMENT     [Top]

Payment is required when the booking being made - TO CONFIRM THE BOOKING. For online bookings, credit card (either Visa or Mastercard) payment is required. For bookings made by phone, payment can be made either by credit card or cheque or money order through the post.(The postal address is Rotary Club of Balwyn, PO Box 257, Balwyn 3103.) If payment is not received within the week of the booking being made, the stall is re-let to another person. Banking is carried out during the week prior to the Sunday booking, and a booking can be changed (not cancelled) by phone only before 5pm Tuesday prior to the Sunday booking. (see below for the office phone number.) Two booking changes only are allowed.
