22 November 2018 - ANNOUNCEMENT

To all our Gold Coast shoppers and sellers,

I’ve run into a mountain of red tape with the Gold Coast City Council in order to get permission for us to continue to operate at Miami High.

There is an approval to run a second hand car market on Saturdays, but not a second hand clothing market.

We are seeking Council approval for Her Wardrobe Markets to continue to run our markets two Saturdays a month. (The school are happy for us to continue, this is a Gold Coast City Council issue – we love Miami High!)

I’m working really hard to resolve this and am hopeful we will be able to run the market as planned on the 15th of December. I am working on a permanent resolution so we can continue to run Her Wardrobe Markets the 1st and 3rd Saturday every month at our Miami home.

This morning I visited Councillor Pauline Young’s office. Although she was unable to see me this week, they have committed to a phone conversation to discuss things as early as tomorrow.

We have emailed all our ticketholders for the planned 15 December event and offered to issue a full refund or a voucher or hang onto their 15 December ticket while we try and sort this out.

If you are a ticketholder and can’t find the email, please email me directly at wardrobe.markets@gmail.com

If you would like to be added to the waitlist for our Dec 15 event, please enter your details on our waitlist here and we will email you as soon as we have an update.

If you would like to contact Cr Young and let her know you’re keen for Her Wardrobe Markets to continue at Miami State High the 1st and 3rd Saturday every month, you can contact her via the details listed on her website here.

Thank you VERY MUCH for your continued support. I love our Miami markets, and I hope we can continue to work together to continue to create such a fun and much-needed community event.

Kind regards

Natalie D’Alessandro

If you book an outdoor stall, please bring a marquee to provide shade and shelter. You can also bring an umbrella if it is one of those ones with a base. (Outdoor stalls will be on bitumen so you won't be able to use tent pegs to secure your marquee.)

If you book an undercover stall, it will be protected from sun and rain as much as possible. It will be under a building, but it is not 'inside'. Wind will be able to get undercover, so please dress appropriately and rug up if you feel the cold! Please be prepared to secure your racks so they don't fall over. Bricks are a great way to put weight on the bottom of racks so they don't fall over.
