POYour Stall
There are a number of elements that are looked upon favourably by festival
management when selecting stall holders, these include;
• Pride in presentation of stall (add some colour!)
• Offer a unique and quality product
• Good value price points
• Environmentally friendly
• Support local / Australian productions
You are required to provide your own stall structure, flooring and equipment including all
signage, lighting, leads and power boards. All equipment must be suitable for all weather
conditions. If you choose to hire equipment from individual hire companies, you must be
onsite for delivery. The Falls Festival takes no responsibility for items delivered by hire
companies to stallholders that go walkabout if you are not on site to collect the delivery.
The Falls Music & Arts Festival Market site fee includes four (4) complimentary staff tickets.
Any additional staff tickets required will be charged per ticket, payable by invoice prior to
the festival. You will not be allowed to trade if your account is outstanding. All staff must
be 18 years or older. This is a standard policy at the Festival and there will be absolutely no
flexibility on this.
Site Fee
We look at a number of factors when calculating caterer site fees, these include;
- Space required
- Power requirements
- Commitment to waste and environmental practices
- Affordability for patrons
Your site fee will include 4 staff tickets; additional staff tickets can be purchased.
Failure to pay your site fee by the specified dates on the invoice will result in termination of
your position to trade at the festival.
Power
You must indicate on your application form if you require power supplied by the Festival
and you must list all power items you will be using. A fee applies to have the power
connected and will be included within your package.

POmay be prohibited from using the item all together. Please be aware that our electricians
will be extremely busy during set up, and this additional work may cause delays.
It is important you also mark what each power cord identifying what it is connected to so
issues can be recognised quickly.
Environment
At The Falls Music & Arts Festival, environmental considerations are an integral part of our
business practices. As part of this commitment to the environment, suppliers are obligated
to reduce the environmental impact of their products, services, and waste emissions.
The guidelines set forth by the Festival include the following:
Reduction
Packaging which is not essential to the use, distribution, retail sale, storage or safety of
your products should be avoided. Packaging or utensils which are essential for these
purposes are required to be constructed from 100% renewable resources.
Re-use
Where compliant with health and other regulation permits, and where practicable,
packaging should be designed for re-use, for example:
• to be re-filled at your stall with the same product;
• to be returned to your stall and be re-used; or
• to be re-used by our patrons for the same or a similar purpose.
Recycling
Please ensure you use only recyclable and compostable materials indicated on the
application form. Please ensure that you do not sell any items that may have a negative
environmental impact on the festival site, for example: Chupa Chup sticks, glow sticks or
plastic straws.
Where practical we encourage the sourcing and use of locally produced products. The
use of these products reduces your carbon footprint and therefore the footprint of the
festival. However, we understand that as we encourage diversity, sometimes this may not
be achievable, so please let us know if the uniqueness of your product does not enable
this. In your application form please list additional ways you are demonstrating your
commitment to minimising your environmental impact to improve your chances of
selection.
Sustainability
With the help of traders, patrons, staff and volunteers, The Falls Music & Arts Festival has
become a leading sustainable event, not just in Australia but within the global
community. Being sustainable means that we not only plan for waste minimisation, but
that we also monitor practices throughout the event. This means that the basic guidelines
stipulated by the festival will be followed by each of our traders otherwise they risk the
chance of not being invited back.
Applications close Friday 25 September 2009. Please post your
POBEING SUSTAINABLE IS EASY
Your role begins by asking your packaging suppliers to supply packaging that is
recyclable (note that only plastic codes with the ID code 1 through to 7 are recyclable at
this event). It is essential that you:
• Avoid polystyrene (Styrofoam), glass, plastic bags, plastic straws. THESE ITEMS ARE
BANNED.
• Use packaging that is constructed from renewable/recyclable sources.
• Correctly place items into the recycling and garbage bins.
• Avoiding unnecessary packaging.
• Provide reusable items where possible.
• Helping with litter control - Stallholders are responsible for litter around their site.
Any stall holders who fail to comply with the above sustainability policies may be forced
to cease operations until compliance is achieved. This will cost you valuable trading hours
so please do the right thing in the first place. This includes following all directions from our
waste management group, the Green Team.
Product List
You are not permitted to sell anything not listed in your application form. You must sell
products at the price indicated on the application form, unless approved by Festival
Management. You may not sell any food, beverages or tobacco related products. Rights

Applications close Friday 25 September 2009. Please post your

Occupational Health and Safety
All market stalls and staff will be expected to abide by the Festival WHS policies and
procedures relevant to market stalls. You, and your employees, should be covered by
Work Cover. Festivals and events will not be liable for injuries to you or your workers on the
way to work or while carrying out their work activities. All workers on all stalls MUST BE OVER
