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

Changing – daily, weekly, seasonally – markets and events in open-air sheds and plaza.

Market sheds and a new public open space in combination are a unique indoor/outdoor setting for day and night markets, seasonal markets, specialty markets and other public events in a varied program of activity. This makes for a continuously changing Queen Victoria Market – a destination for special occasions as well as for everyday shopping. A new Queen’s Corner building helps to activate the new open space, and provides a home for visitor services.

Current priorities

  • Develop specialist back-of-house amenities.
  • Upgrade infrastructure to support events including alternative market operations and arrangements.
  • Upgrade waste management facilities.
  • Develop sustainable precinct-wide infrastructure.
