Important Update: Stallholder Bookings

 There are four deadly types of stalls to choose from:

1. Food Vendor Stall 🍴

Cairns NAIDOC is calling on local food vendors to serve affordable, community-friendly meals that reflect the vibrant flavours of our region.
Important:

• Must comply with Cairns Regional Council food regulations.
• Must provide a current Food Handling Certificate with your application.
• Due to limited space and power, all food stall EOIs will be reviewed and      approved by the Cairns NAIDOC Committee.

2. Community Stall 🖤💛❤️

We’re here to uplift Blak excellence.
Community stalls are for mob-owned small businesses, grassroots innovators, and community changemakers.
Showcase your creations, build connections, and be part of the movement.

3. Pre-Set Stall 🎪

Don’t have a marquee? No stress.
We’ve partnered with Underwood Party Hire to offer pre-set marquees in 6x6m, 6x3m, and 3x3m sizes.
Limited larger spaces available — perfect for a polished, professional setup.

4. Self-Provider Stall 🛖

Bringing your own branded marquee? Deadly.
Self-providers must supply their own 6x3m or 3x3m setup — all structures must be safely secured and meet outdoor event standards.

Food Vendor Stalls & Community Stalls:
➔ Apply first by submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI).
➔ Applications are reviewed by the Cairns NAIDOC Committee. 

➔ If successful, you’ll be sent a payment link to purchase your stall ticket via Humanitix.
 

Pre-Set Stalls and Self-Provider Stalls:
➔ No need to wait!
➔ You can buy your stall ticket directly from Humanitix at any time.
➔ First in, best dressed — stalls can sell out fast.

ALL STALL FEES ARE PAYBLE BY CARD ONLY.

Every stall (no matter the type) includes a Bond Fee.
 

Bond refunds are available after the event, but only if:

• You meet all stall conditions,
• You pack down properly,
• You leave your area clean and safe.
   

✅ Follow the rules = Get your bond back.
❌ Break the conditions = Bond withheld.

 Once you’ve paid, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your booking details, bump-in instructions, what you need to bring on the day. 

• A $200 Bond is charged for stalls.
• The bond is included in the fee and will be fully refunded after the event, provided the stall remains operational until 4:00 PM and is left in clean, undamaged condition.
• Bond refunds are processed securely via direct deposit using the Hummantix system, with no credit card information stored by DIYDG, in line with Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and the Privacy Act 1988. 

DEATAILS COMING SOON

Please ensure you review the Underwoods Party Hire's Terms & Conditions.

This policy outlines the terms, conditions, and procedures relating to the $200 bond paid by stallholders participating in the Cairns NAIDOC Committee’s “Friday in the Park” event. 

The $200 bond, included as part of the stallholder fee, is in place to ensure:

• Stallholders remain on-site until 4:00 PM on the day of the event.
• All stall sites and equipment supplied (e.g., by Underwood Party Hire) are maintained in a clean and respectable condition for return.
• The stallholder complies with the event’s terms and conditions, supporting a safe, respectful, and well-coordinated event for all participants.

•  All stallholder payments, including the bond, are processed via the Hummantix booking system, a trusted third-party event ticketing and booking platform.
• DIYDG does not collect, store, or have access to stallholders’ credit card or payment details, in alignment with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
• This approach ensures compliance with national data protection regulations, mitigates risk of data breaches, and promotes best practice in financial data management.
• By using Hummantix as a secure external processor, DIYDG upholds its commitment to protecting personal and financial information in accordance with current privacy laws and community expectations.

 Bonds will only be refunded if the following conditions are met:

• The stallholder remains fully operational until 4:00 PM on event day.
• The stall site is returned in a clean and undamaged state, with no missing or broken equipment.
• There are no breaches of event rules, such as unauthorized early pack-down or unsafe practices.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in forfeiture of part or all of the bond.

•   Bond return requests must be submitted within 30 days of the event date by completing the official Bond Return Request Form (available via the DIYDG website or emailed upon request).
• The form must include the stallholder’s business name, contact details, booking reference, and valid bank account information for reimbursement.

• Once a completed Bond Return Request Form is received and the stall site is verified as compliant, DIYDG will process the reimbursement within 14 business days.
• Reimbursements will be made exclusively via electronic bank transfer.
• DIYDG does not issue refunds to credit cards or use any method that involves storing or transmitting sensitive financial data directly, in line with our privacy-first operating procedures.
