Important Market Update:

We’ve made the difficult decision to postpone future Rivermakers Markets until 2025.

This pause comes as we clarify the statutory approvals in response to a single complaint by a neighbouring business.

When the Rivermakers Markets were launched, our shared vision was to create an iconic space that would alleviate the current cost of living pressure, bring family, friends and neighbours together, and provide a platform for local farmers, makers, bakers and growers to thrive. All set along the picturesque Brisbane River in the stunning Rivermakers Precinct.

While we’ve arrived here due to this complaint, it’s important we note the market and neighbouring business are not mutually exclusive. They most certainly can coexist. This was evident in the second week of trade following the popular opening day, and we look forward to demonstrating this upon the market’s return.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us, alongside the hundreds of vendors, sole traders and small family businesses that make up the Rivermakers markets. The local community, amazing traders, Rivermakers family and team, remain the driving force and soul behind this very special activation.

For now, our priority remains removing any future uncertainty and resuming trade as we started – as an iconic family focused farmers market.

We believe that this decision, while disappointing, is in good faith and will ensure the markets return in early 2025.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported the market over the past few months! Stay tuned to our social media for updates and details.
