Opportunity to run the Tweed's community markets
21 August 2020
Expressions of interest welcomed to operate up to seven markets
Tweed Shire Council is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from individuals or groups to run one or more of the Tweed’s community markets.
“This is an exciting time for local community markets as we want them to grow and become cultural and community experiences which are sustainable in terms of waste,” Council’s Manager Building and Environmental Health Denise Galle said.
“Our current markets are fantastic and Council would like to grow them to provide more opportunities for local goods, services, arts, crafts and organic products, as well as entertainment, such as musicians, buskers and artists.”
There are more community markets in the Tweed, but this EOI process relates to the following locations:
- Kingscliff (Jack Bayliss Park)
- Kingscliff (Lions Park)
- Kingscliff (Salt Central Park)
- Murwillumbah (Knox Park)
- Pottsville (Phillip Street)
- Tweed Heads (Recreation Street)
- Tweed Heads (Jack Evans Boat Harbour)
Successful applicants would operate one or more of the markets from 1 November 2020 to 31 October 2023.
Applicants are advised to read the Market Management Plan Guidelines 2020 and the Markets Policy 2020 before beginning their EOI at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/markets
The policy sets out the location, frequency and operating times of the individual markets and the terms of the development consent for each location.
“The expression of interest is a comprehensive submission process and to be successful applicants need to fully understand the requirements of the market management we seek,” Ms Galle said.
To assist applicants with the process, Council staff will be available for appointments from 9am to 11am from Monday 24 August to Wednesday 26 August.
To book an appointment or for more information, contact Council’s Environmental Health team by calling 02 6670 2400 or emailing tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au
Expressions of interest close at 12 noon, Wednesday 26 August 2020. Visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/tenders/current to register your EOI.
