THE Mount Hawthorn Hawker Markets has won ongoing approval for the summer after a successful four-week trial.
The event by Local Arts and Community Events was so overwhelmingly successful that on the first night the stalls ran out of food.
It’s been a big drawcard for the area but the nearby Cabin restaurant has reported a dip in trade on market nights. Instead of whinging it wants to get on board the gravy train with a stall of its own.
After 100 people wrote supportive submissions and only two objected, Vincent council unanimously approved the markets for the summer, running every Friday until the end of March.
Meanwhile more food options are on the way with the council approving a food truck trial from January to April, with interested mobile chefs asked to contact the council.
