SELECTION PROCESS The Garden selects a unique range of designers and artists to deliver a diverse Market. You need to ensure that your EOI is received in full with no vital information missing. We receive more EOIs than we can accept, so the more information we have the better. We base our selection on: • Complete applications (missing information may jeopardise your application), • Diversity & quality of product, • The presentation of your products and your stall (photos are great for this), • Marketing plans (how will your promote your involvement in The Garden?) and • Commitment to sustainable practice This year we’re using Submittable to power our online application process. Read this document, and then complete the form in as much detail as possible. Please note this document is only a guide to be part of The Garden. If you are selected as a Market Stallholder for our upcoming season, you will be issued with a full agreement, detailing all terms and conditions of being part of The Garden. NOTIFICATION Stallholders will be notified via email and asked to pay the required Site Bond and a first payment to secure their booking as per the indicative key dates. TRADING HOURS These hours may be subject to change in 2021 and all stallholders will be promptly advised before event delivery: Monday – Thursday* 5pm – 1am Friday 5pm – 3am Saturday 10am – 3am Sunday** 10am – 1am * Except: Mon 22 Feb 2021 when The Garden is closed **Except: Sun 14 Mar 2021 when The Garden may close at 3:00am (Adelaide Cup Weekend). The Garden will advise Stallholder of other variations to trading dates/times as they arise. The Stallholder may only operate within the dates of the season and must operate every day during this period. Failure to open during the season may result in a levy being withheld from the Stallholder’s Site Bond. The Stallholders must trade a minimum number of hours each day. Market stalls: Monday to Thursday 5.00pm to 10.00pm Fridays 5.00pm to 11.00pm Saturdays 10:00am to 11:00pm Sundays 10:00am to 11:00pm Extended Hours apply and daytime trade applies during Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays: Stalls are to open for daytime trade from 10:00am during these extended hours and then continuing through to standard evening trade. The Gardeners encourage Stallholders to continue to trade beyond allocated time when busy and likewise are willing to make exceptions for early close in cases of extenuating circumstances (e.g. Inclement weather).
SITE FEES AND BOND Stall prices are based on a daily flat fee for all stallholders (indicative fees and trading spaces are being reviewed for 2021 and successful applicants will be informed of any changes to fee structures or costs once accepted). All stallholders must trade for a minimum of 2 trading weeks during the season and can also fully book for the whole duration – Preference will be given to stallholders who wish to lock in the full 4 weeks. In addition, the Stallholder must pay a refundable Site Bond of $500 due along with the first rental instalment for those trading in the first two weeks of festival delivery. PAYMENT All payments required by a successful Stallholder under their Agreement with The Gardeners, including the site Bond, will be processed through a direct debit system. Under this system all payments required will be deducted from the Stallholder’s nominated bank account on specific dates. Paperwork required to establish the direct debits will be sent to all successful Stallholders. STALLHOLDER INFRASTRUCTURE This year we will be creating a Market Stall space using Garden infrastructure to create a cohesive area. The number of sites available will be dependant on expressions of interest from stallholders, and finding the perfect balance of stalls to create a welcoming bazaar of Adelaide’s finest wares! The Gardeners make no promise or guarantee of stall position within The Garden prior to the event. Stallholder EOIs are accepted on the understanding that the Stallholder agrees that their market stall position is at the sole discretion of The Gardeners. Stallholders must provide access to their stall to The Gardeners or other relevant regulatory bodies whenever required to ensure compliance with all relevant codes, guidelines or laws. Failure to meet guidelines set by relevant authorities may result in Stallholder being closed down until such time as the breach is remedied. Stallholder will still be liable for full Site Fees during any period of closure. STALL PRESENTATION We are looking for Market Stallholders that take pride in the presentation of their stall and add to the aesthetic of The Garden. Presentation of all aspects of The Garden are important to us, and it’s imperative that Stallholders and their staff present themselves, their stalls and their products in the best possible light at all times. The Gardeners retain the right to insist any Stallholder properly maintains their stall. Failure by the Stallholder to comply with this rule may result in The Gardeners taking direct action that may include repair, remediation, rubbish removal or requiring the stall shut down. The costs incurred through any of these actions will be charged to the Stallholder. RIGHT OF VETO The Gardeners retain the right to enter any market stall at any time and remove any article, sign, picture or printed matter, which, in our opinion, is either not eligible for display or is considered offensive or substandard. This extends to any items (e.g. A-frame signs) located outside of the stall. SEATING OR FURNITURE Stallholders are not to bring any seating or furniture for customers to site, without the prior written consent of The Gardeners.
PRODUCT LIST All product lists are subject to approval by The Gardeners. You are not permitted to sell anything not listed in your application form. You must sell products at the price indicated on the application unless approved by The Gardeners. The Gardeners do not guarantee that stallholders will have sole rights to any specific product. You must not sell any tobacco related products, liquor related products or items that may contravene existing sponsorship agreements held by The Gardeners. PARKING Please note there is strictly no parking onsite. Vehicle access to Rundle Park is both dangerous and contravenes The Gardeners’ remediation and park maintenance guidelines. It should also be noted that Adelaide City Council make regular sweeps of Rundle Park and will issue tickets to vehicles parked in Rundle Park regardless of whether they are parked within the perimeter of The Garden or elsewhere in Rundle Park. The Gardeners, if deemed necessary, will withhold a portion or all of a Stallholder’s Site Bond to offset remediation costs to repair site damage caused by a Stallholder. DELIVERIES AND STALLHOLDER ACCESS Rules and access conditions may include but are not limited to: • No vehicle access to Rundle Park • Vehicles access for bump in and bump out strictly restricted to traffic on pathways • Vehicles found to have strayed from the path will forfeit their Bond instantly • The Stallholder must not attempt to access The Garden at any other time than those specified and only by those entrances specified. • Delivery access to The Garden will only be permitted during specified times and to specific locations. Recurring infringements may result in additional ACC fines and/or monies being held form Stallholder Site Bond to cover remediation costs. Full information will be supplied to successful applicants. POWER Power is very limited on site. It is important that you list all electrical equipment on the form. Only leads, power boards and electric appliances with current test tags in accordance with AS/NZS_3760:2010 may be used. Electrical appliances and leads that do not have current test tags, or that are deemed to be in-breach of the safety standard will be confiscated. WHEN COMPLETEING THE EOI, STALLHOLDERS MUST DETAIL ALL APPLIANCES THEY INTEND TO PLUG IN DURING THE OPERATION OF THEIR STALLS AND LIST THE EXACT WATTAGE OF EACH APPLIANCE. This is crucial in planning an adequate supply of electricity to each stall. Appliances not documented within the application will not be accepted onsite. The Garden will be run on 100% green power as one of our measures to improve event sustainability. WATER AND SULLAGE The Gardeners do not intend to supply any market stalls with water or waste. GARBAGE & RECYCLING The Stallholder is required to use compostable packaging, addressing one measure to improve the sustainability of The Garden, and aid The Garden in becoming a ‘Zero Waste’ event. This includes all products being issued to the customer including bags, wrapping or containers. If you require more information about improving the green footprint on your stall, please contact us. Let’s reduce and reuse our waste. PROCEDURES & POLICY The Gardeners have developed a range of Accessibility, Sponsorship, Safety and Risk Management procedures in relation to its operations.

Assessment, COVID Safety Plan, and WH&S Policies & Procedures. Whilst operating within The Garden the Stallholder is required to adhere to The Gardener’s procedures and policies and maintain their own WH&S policies to ensure safety of their workers and the public. The Stallholders and their staff will be required to attend an on-site induction with our Safety Officer prior to bump in. This is to ensure you and your staff follows all safety guidelines and best practices. In the interest of public and workplace safety any recommendations may be required to be implemented before stalls can commence trade. The Garden’s procedures and policies will be provided to the Stallholder prior to the site induction. COVID 19 SAFETY PLANNING All stalls will be required to submit a COVID19 safety management plan for their stall whilst operating within The Garden prior to event delivery.

FIRE SAFETY The Gardeners will ensure that the stalls and work areas are provided with fire protection and fire fighting equipment that is designed and built for the types of risks and hazards reasonably expected within that workplace (e.g.: foam or dry powder type extinguishers for fires that involve flammable liquids). The costs of which will be included in the rental charge. The areas where the equipment is stored must be kept clear of obstructions. ACCESSIBILITY The Gardeners are committed in providing equal access, we require Stallholders to address accessibility requirements when planning your stalls. This may include but is not limited to: • A section of low counter accessible to patrons in wheelchairs • Well-lit signage with clear lettering • Clear passage of travel within stalls • Ramps where applicable If you require help, during your planning stages, please contact us and we will advise on any improvements that can be made.

All due care will be taken to ensure the safety of all areas of the site however the Gardeners take no responsibility for any goods or property brought onto or left on the site by a Stallholder.
ACCREDITATION The security of our staff, performers, stallholders and patrons is of paramount concern to The Gardeners.

It will be required for access to or exit from The Garden through any entrance or exit other than the public entrance at the corner of Rundle St and East Tce. Accreditation must be carried by anyone in back of house areas. Stallholder accreditation does not grant the bearer unrestricted access to venues, venue back of house areas or dressing rooms, production areas, bar stores or any other areas not directly related to stalls. Lost accreditation can be replaced, but at the cost of the Market stallholder. CANCELLATION Stallholder cancellation at any time will result in Stallholder forfeiting any deposits paid.
