Terms and Conditions

The Original Open Market is held on a City of Onkaparinga reserve, and therefore strict rules apply compared to most other markets. We operate with agreement from the City of Onkaparinga, under strict Development Plan criteria.  With the combination of the Development Plan rules and the Original Open Market Inc. rules, the result is a tightly controlled, friendly venue.
Your compliance with our mandate will ensure the continued support of this market.
