Market Car Parking

Car parking update

Thank you for your interest in the Harbourside Market Car Park Community Fundraising Programme. 

This programme is extremely popular and unfortunately our 2010 schedule is now full. 

Due to the large number of community groups interested in participating, we will be moving to a 3 month ballot system beginning January 2011.  Applications from interested parties for the January – March 2011 period will be accepted from November this year.

If  you interested, please contact us again in November.  Best of luck with your fundraising!

Food Partnership Programme

This programme is a partnership programme between the Suzanne Aubert Compassion Centre and the Wellington City Mission and the market stallholders. A selected number of stallholders will provide the two organisations with unsold, fresh produce from the market on a weekly basis to supply the local shelter with a healthy dinner s for the week. Each week, the two organisations will come to the market at closing times and meet with the Harbourside Food Partnership Programme Stallholders to collect a supply of local produce that was not sold that day. This programme is a great example of how the marketplace is working to support the local Wellington community.

Other Community Initiatives

The Market Office is interested in involving the community in as many ways as we can with the market so if you have any ideas on how we can bring the market closer to the community, please let us know.
