Organisers of an oversubscribed new market have promised traffic management, but council has rescinded approval of the plan at the 11th hour.
The organisers of Morningside’s Rivermakers Farmers and Artisan Markets are fuming after Brisbane City Council rescinded approval for their plan to manage traffic for the event.
On social media, market goers also complained about traffic jams and lack of parking at the market. Power said these problems had been addressed by the addition of 300 parking spots and the traffic management plan, initially approved by council. Power, who has 19 years experience staging markets, said that the unexpected crowds proved that the area was crying out for a market.
“We are concerned about animal welfare issues if roads are significantly congested, like they were at the first market,” Lee said.
