The shelves are stacked as treasure markets in Caboolture and Dakabin will reopen next week

The shelves are stacked chock-a-block full of preloved goods at two hugely popular council treasure markets, which will reopen next week — but there will be buying restrictions in place.

THE Caboolture and Dakabin treasure markets will reopen next Tuesday from 10am in line with the State Government’s easing coronavirus restrictions.

Just 20 people allowed inside at any one time and purchases will be limited, but with the tips operating during the shutdown period, shoppers can expect the shelves to be stacked with second hand goodies.

“It’s no secret the treasure markets are a local favourite, so we’re glad residents will be able to pick up preloved items at bargain prices once again,” Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said.

“Customers will be allowed to browse and purchase goods for up to 20 minutes, with purchases limited to five items per customer.

“From household furniture and spare parts, to quirky collectables and books, there’s endless items ready to be yours.”

There will be increased cleaning at the facilities and hand sanitiser stations for customers, among other hygiene measures as per the COVID-19 Safe Plan.

“We want to see people reusing, repurposing and recycling as much as possible, and we’re proud that the Moreton Bay community strongly embraces this message,” Mr Flannery said.

“I encourage all residents who are feeling safe and healthy, to take a trip to the markets to see what trinkets you can find.”

The Treasure Markets will be open 10am-2pm Tuesday to Sunday.
