Our vision

Shopfront trading in market halls and street-oriented terraces.

Queen Victoria Market’s diverse mix of fresh food, meat, fish and specialty food vendors continue to animate one of Melbourne’s most intriguing and enduring retail destinations. Shops fronting onto the surrounding streets welcome visitors with hospitality establishments and retail that showcase market produce, making a special destination at any time of day, every day.

Current priorities

  • Resolve conflicts between service vehicles and public access.
  • Improve access for delivery including off-street loading and set-up areas, wash-down service and storage facilities.
  • Improve trader facilities including showers, toilets, breakout spaces and storage.
  • Improve waste management and recycling facilities for meat and fish offal, organics and packaging.
  • Develop sustainable precinct-wide infrastructure for power, waste management and recycling.
  • Improve adaptability of trading spaces.
