TWO different markets have been proposed for the Long Beach Reserve area at Sandy Bay.
A monthly beachside market and a night market have been put forward by separate proponents, who envisage 40 to 50 stalls and entertainment.
Hobart City Council aldermen will consider the plans this evening.
A finance committee has recommended they be deferred, with the possibility they would be put to tender if it was decided they were appropriate for the area.
Ald Philip Cocker said the redevelopment of Long Beach Reserve area had made it more attractive.
He said the recommendation was for a temporary refusal rather than a straight-out rejection.
"This is an area where the council has spent a large amount of money and they're very popular. If we are going to put this sort of event into recreational areas we need to have a discussion about it," Ald Cocker said.
He said he expected markets would have to put out to tender.
Rose Hansen has proposed a Nutgrove beachside market for the first Sunday of each month, year round, at the grassed area at Sandown Park.
Mrs Hansen said she wanted a focus on Tasmanian artists, writers and entertainment.
"I come from an arts background and I'm looking to create a family-friendly event with a festive atmosphere," Mrs Hansen said.
"It would promote local arts and include performance, musicians, maybe puppet shows and poetry readings."
Food stalls would be limited to local traders.
She said the council had been good to work with and she hoped she could find a suitable venue for about 50 stalls in the long term.
For the afternoon-night market idea, Justin Davies wrote to the council about a market that would run November to February, Fridays or every second Friday, from 4-8.30pm, with 15 to 20 operators at first and the potential for about 40.
Mr Davies said the focus would be on locally made product and young designers.
The preferred location would be next to the playground.
"The idea is to give an opportunity for locals who are time poor over the weekend to attend a market," Mr Davies said.
