The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.


We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future.

Our vision

One of Melbourne’s great public and local places.

Welcoming and full of urban life, Queen Victoria Market’s public spaces encapsulate qualities that make our city liveable – year in, year out – within a variety of pedestrian-friendly streets and plazas. These open spaces interconnect, help to define, and add value to the different trading areas of the market while providing for a growing community.

Current priorities

  • Provide improved pedestrian access and safety.
  • Resolve conflicts between service vehicles and public access.
  • Improve amenity and provide public seating and respite spaces.
