Kingsbury Drive Community Market

Kingsbury Drive Community Market carries more than 30 years of history, though it hasn't always traded from the same spot. After moving between locations for the first two decades of its existence, the market settled at its current La Trobe University site, Chisholm College's Carpark 3 in Bundoora, more than 10 years ago, where it's remained a Sunday fixture ever since.

Three decades of fundraising for Diamond Valley Community Support

Throughout all those changes of address, one thing has stayed constant: the market is the major fundraiser for Diamond Valley Community Support, a local organisation whose services benefit directly from every stallholder fee and market visit. More than 140 stalls now trade here weekly, covering food, produce, fashion, gifts, art and pet supplies, a genuinely broad range for a market built primarily as a community fundraising vehicle.

Reviewers describe a genuinely pet-friendly, family atmosphere, praising fresh produce, jams, honey and bread, though several long-time visitors note the market has thinned out somewhat since relocating within the same carpark, with fewer stallholders than in its earlier years at this site.

Good to know before you go

Arriving around 11am to 12pm is a tip regulars specifically recommend for the best bargains as stallholders look to move remaining stock. Being on university grounds means checking for any semester-related schedule changes is a sensible precaution.
