You can also apply to trade at sportsgrounds, but this requires additional permission from the sports code chairperson.

The cost of trading is based on what you’re selling and how long you plan to trade. Additional charges may apply for the site and power (if needed).

We'll provide a detailed pricing breakdown after you register your interest.

You can’t trade within 100 metres of a similar shop (e.g. coffee carts can’t set up next to a café).
You must comply with the District Plan for allowed activities in your chosen location.
No alcohol sales are permitted from mobile kiosks.
All vehicles must meet NZTA standards and be removed from the site daily.
