Tender Details
Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority is seeking Applications from potential Stallholders who would like to
trade at The Rocks Market, Sydney, with the aim of revitalising the market to meet the objectives detailed

Successful applicants wishing to book a stall must register their interest online, to trade either for a one week or four week period. Successful applicants will be issued with an online user name and password which will be valid for 12 months, and which can be used to register for a stall each week.
