Markets held on school grounds are established through an EOI process to select the market operator. Schools interested in opening the school to a weekend market can contact the Community Infrastructure unit at community.infrastructure@det.nsw.edu.au.

On behalf of the department, the Community Infrastructure unit will:

• coordinate the required tender documentation in consultation with the school principal
• determine the licence fee to be charged
• run the EOI
• prepare the licence agreement between the department and the market operator.

Market operators that wish to hold a market on a school site should complete a Markets on school sites proposal form.

Vendors who wish to trade at the markets negotiate directly with the market operator.

See section 1.8 of the Sharing of School Facilities procedures for more information.

Parents and Citizens (P&C) Associations are not required to tender and may operate ad-hoc fundraising markets under a community use agreement.
