Why introduce shopping carts in the Adelaide Central Market?

    It is anticipated that the introduction of shopping carts will improve customer experience by enabling more produce to be purchased with ease and in turn supports local traders.

    Have you already made your mind up?

    No decision has been made yet. The Adelaide Central Market Authority is engaging with traders and the community to understand their views about this idea and gather information. This will help the Authority make a decision about whether to introduce shopping carts and under what circumstances.  

    What will the shopping carts look like?

    This has not been decided yet. However, the Authority is considering a compact design to suit the Adelaide Central Market environment. We are currently seeking feedback on design features that are important to the community via our online survey.

    When will consultation be?

    Consultation will run from Monday, 25 March 2024 until 5pm, Friday 26 April 2024.
