We are looking for exciting and innovative small businesses and entrepreneurs to bring an idea to life at one of seven iconic locations identified by the City.
Fremantle attracts huge numbers of domestic, interstate, and international visitors each year providing any seasonal trading business a stream of potential customers. Each location is different so make sure you review the prospectus for the types of businesses we think are suited.
Seasonal trading will involve temporary selling activity at the designated locations, with infrastructure that is typically removed from the public space at the end of each day.
