A new temporary market pavilion located on Queen Street will ensure temporarily relocated traders can continue to operate right throughout the renewal program. The new market site will likely stretch from the sheds down to the customer car park.

The new two-storey, greenhouse-inspired design, will include an open air trading hall on the ground level and a market garden on the upper level.

The pavilion will give traders better access to refrigeration, water, power and storage and include a number of sustainability features. It will also provide many exciting reasons for people to shop at the market while renewal works are underway.

It will house traders who need to relocate to enable the restoration of the market’s heritage sheds and construction of below-ground trader facilities (subject to planning application processes later this year).

• Good promotion and clear communication to ensure customers, regular and new, know where to find traders.
• Improve trader and customer amenity through improved weather protection.
• Help ensure deliveries are safely and efficiently managed.
• Be separated from renewal works with minimal disruption from construction vehicles.
• Help us work with traders and customers to develop and trial new trading, storage and visual merchandising options, and be accessible for people of all abilities.
