Stall Holders

Market Rules and Regulations have been updated to comply with the Victoria’s COVID-19 vaccination requirements.

It is recognised that some of the following requirements may seem harsh, however, the Rotary Club of Dromana, and the Dromana Community Market must work with all stake holders (Stall Holders, Patrons and Government Agencies) as we move beyond the impact that COVID 19 has had on our lives. As a result, the Dromana Community Market is to follow State Government guidelines through the Covid 19 pandemic which offers the opportunity for the market to commence again in November 2021.

The market is to commence on Saturday 27^th November and it is essential for the market to follow state government COVID 19 requirements.

This includes “All Stall Holders and persons assisting” stall holders being either:

1. a) being fully vaccinated,
2. b) partially vaccinated and have a booking scheduled for the 2^nd dose, or
3. c) have a first vaccination booking scheduled at least 14 days before the upcoming market.

Vaccination Certificates

To maintain legal obligations associated with the markets COVID Safe Plan, market management will require copies of vaccination certificates for all stall holders and their assistants.

Action
