Activities on the University Campus are governed by a Site Statute and the sale of goods is an activity covered within the statute. Stalls are to comply with the requirements of the Statute, as well as the operating guidelines set out below. Site statute conditions state you must:

(a) Not use the Site, except as authorised and in accordance with best industry practices and to the University’s reasonable satisfaction;

(b) Leave the Site in a clean, litter-free and undamaged condition;

(c) Not display advertising or directional material without the University’s consent and comply with any requirements of the University about signage. All advertising or directional materials must be removed from the University on completion of the event you are on campus for;

(e) Not light any fires on Site;

(f) Not disturb, damage or remove wildlife, plants, rocks, soil or firewood;

Failure to comply with requirements of the Site Statute, will forfeit your access to the Campus, and may incur cleaning or other costs.

Obligations and Regulations

The following general conditions apply to all stall applications:

  • The Student Guild reserves the right to grant or refuse an application for a stall permit.
  • Casual traders are not permitted to offer items available from existing commercial tenants, without prior approval. Any trader found to be competing with existing tenants will be requested to remove the product line, or risk withdrawal of future permits. Similarly, casual traders will not be permitted to compete with existing business arrangements between the University and outside bodies.
  • No external operators will be permitted to operate food stalls, without prior discussion and approval from the Student Guild.
  • Operators are required to comply with any state or local government regulations or requirements, which cover the service or products offered.
  • Stalls are not permitted in areas other than those designated.
  • It is the Student Guild’s policy that stallholders should not be in direct competition with each other. E.g. we will not allow two jewellery stalls selling the same type of jewellery on campus. Different styles of the same product might be allowed; however samples or further details are required before permission is granted.

Workplace Health and Safety Requirements
