The Melbourne City Councils 2011/12 draft budget has been announced and features a total spend of $346.55 million of which $1.15 million has been dedicated to upgrading The Queen Victoria Market.
Last night’s Channel 9 News said the $1.15m would be directed to revamping old buildings and removing asbestos roofing. Lord Mayor, Peter Doyle, said “We would look over the next year to making public a vision for The Queen Victoria Market that actually restores it to the No.1 iconic destination of Melbourne, which it used to be.”
