Ebenezer Night Markets

Have your say on the proposal for this event requiring a road closure.

Background

Ebenezer Night Markets has been held since 2012. Originating as a pilot Splash Adelaide initiative (formerly known as East End Summer Fridays), Ebenezer Night Markets aims to provide activity and vibrancy to the East End by featuring 45 stall holders on each night selling a variety of items including food, jewellery, arts, crafts and fashion. Music (ordinarily by way of a DJ) is played during the event.

Stall holders are invited to attend by the event organiser. During the event dates (see ‘Timeline’ to the side), it is proposed that Ebenezer Place between Union Street and Rundle Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between 3pm and 11:30pm.

Project Information

City of Adelaide has received an application from the East End Coordination Group to deliver the Ebenezer Night Markets in Ebenezer Place from December 2019 until March 2020. Under the Local Government Act 1999, public consultation is required for events which propose to alter the purpose of a road, by using a public road for business purposes.

To facilitate the road closures, it is proposed that all the on-street parking spaces on Ebenezer Place will be changed to ‘No stopping’ from 1pm-midnight on each event day.

Pedestrian access would be maintained along Ebenezer Place and the event site will not be fenced.

The event would adhere to the City of Adelaide and Liquor Licensing requirements.

Noise levels would be monitored throughout the event to ensure that the event organiser does not exceed the maximum noise levels permitted by the City of Adelaide Event Noise Mitigation Standard Operating Procedures.

A sound check would be conducted at 6pm on each day of the event.

An approval for Ebenezer Night Markets would be by way of a permit issued by the City of Adelaide.
