Restoring and Revitalising the Market
Queen Victoria Market is being restored and revitalised to preserve its heritage and secure its future for future generations to enjoy.
This transformation represents the largest investment in the Market’s 150-year history, demonstrating its crucial importance to Melbourne’s identity and future.
Throughout its history, the Market has continuously evolved to meet changing needs while maintaining its essential character. This renewal continues that tradition.
The revitalised Market will remain a raw and authentic working Market, featuring restored heritage buildings and modern back-of-house facilities that will meet contemporary trader needs, improve safety and reduce our environmental impact.
We are creating new open spaces, providing more places to sit and relax, and showcasing the best local produce, specialty goods and local makers. More restaurants, bars, cafés, events and activities will create a more vibrant destination day and night.
You may notice some changes during your visit to the Market; however, the Market remains open with all your favourite traders operating.
