Guidelines for Dogs

Please help us keep the market safe and enjoyable for everyone by following these guidelines:

  • Keep your dog on a short lead and under your control at all times
  • Make sure they've had a toilet break before entering the market
  • Carry bags and clean up after your dog immediately, disposing of waste offsite
  • Keep your dog with you at all times and away from food displays and preparation areas.

Food Safety

Market stalls are classified as temporary food premises and must comply with food safety requirements under the Food Act and the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. These regulations require food to be protected from contamination by animals, pests and waste, helping keep the market safe, clean and enjoyable for everyone.
