FAQ'S
How will my stallholder application be assessed?
Your application, photographs and samples will be presented to an assessment committee who review your application. If your application meets the criteria it then needs to achieve a minimum entry score. Please note the assessment committee may request further information or other materials to be supplied in order to complete the application process.
How do I know if my application was submitted successfully?
If your application form has been submitted successful, you will receive an on-screen confirmation with “Your Form Has Been Submitted” as well an email with a copy of your application.
If you have not received the above confirmation, you will need to resubmit your application, making sure all mandatory fields (fields marked with an asterisk ‘*’) have been entered. If you have any issue submitting your application, please contact The Rocks Market on 0412 271 725.
How long does this process take?
Once your application and samples have been received the application process normally takes 4 – 6 weeks.
While every effort is made to process incoming applications within 6 weeks, please be aware that processing times may increase due to department priorities.
How can I send my samples for assessment?

Will I receive my samples back?
