Vehicle movement may not exceed 5 kilometres per hour during this period of time must have hazards on and where instructed must comply with directions given to them by market staff.

During trading hours (8:00am to 1:00pm) the site will be locked thus restricting access/exit from the Belmont Market site. No vehicle is permitted for move within the market after 8:00am and prior to 1:00pm for public safety reasons (emergency services vehicles accepted).

Early exiting of the market site is only permitted if it is safe enough to do so at the discretion of market staff. Early exiting will only be considered if there is clear vehicle movement pathways or the market is cancelled due to weather and other disruptions. Attempting to gain vehicle access or vehicle early exit without prior approval from market staff could see the stallholder banned from future markets.

It is recommended if a stallholder(s) wants to leave the market early or they need to come and go throughout the day they unload their car and park it outside of the defined market site event area in one of the many free off street car spaces we have available surrounding the market. If parking in surrounding streets stallholders and patrons attending the market must comply with the parking regulations of the City of Greater Geelong (the City).
