How do I know if the product I wish to sell is suitable for the Market?

Priority will be given to home produced, hand crafted goods made in Mosman and surrounding regions. Suitable, good quality Fair Trade Market products, which are certified, labelled & supported by the Fair Trade Association of Australia & New Zealand (FTAANZ), or the International Federation of Alternative Trade (IFAT), may be accepted for sale at the Market. Preference will be given to local residents, and interesting Market products, as some products may already be represented at the Market.

Any request for a refund on the basis of injury or illness must be supported by a medical certificate (to be emailed to council@mosman.nsw.gov.au)
