Community and trader engagement
We consulted with over 7500 people to develop the Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal Master Plan.
In 2018 we conducted a People’s Panel to deliberate on how to deliver trader and customer facilities at Queen Victoria Market.
To give traders, customers and the community a greater voice in the renewal and strategic operations of the market, we also appointed a new Committee of Trustees in 2018.
We will continue to have important conversations with the people who know the market, use it and work at it to reimagine important areas within the market precinct including:
- How can we best transform the current customer car park into the new Market Square and create the new Market Cross?
- What type of new public spaces do our customers and nearby residents want in the market precinct and how would they like to use them?
- How can we celebrate and appropriately acknowledge the market’s long history?
- How can we recognise its connection to Aboriginal communities and as the site of the former Old Melbourne Cemetery?
