Council is seeking expressions of interest to host markets in the Port of Echuca precinct.

The Port of Echuca Precinct is defined as the area from the roundabout at the corner of Heygarth and High Streets along to the Old Pump House, through to the roundabout at Warren Street and the area between the Murray and Campaspe rivers inclusive.

The precinct is recognised as a drawcard for tourists and includes several attractions including the Port of Echuca Discovery Centre, Foundry Art Space, Hopwood Gardens and Arts Precinct Gardens, Riverboat Dock, the historic Echuca Wharf and paddle steamers.

Encouraging locals and visitors to linger in the precinct is a priority for Council. Council recognise that events and attractions add to the vibrancy of the precinct and enhance the experience for visitors and locals.

Criteria for Markets held in the Port of Echuca

1. Annual applications will be considered through an expression of interest (EOI) process from co-operatives and incorporated associations established within the municipality. Applications from other community groups and committees from outside of the Shire of Campaspe will be considered at the discretion of Council.
2. Applications from commercial markets holders will not be considered.
3. All Markets must support locally made or grown produce and products, second hand, crafts and hand made goods. No Resellers are permissible at these markets.
4. Twilight markets may be held on a more regular basis throughout the year once approval is obtained from Council.
