The proposed Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal Project is a major initiative to preserve and renew the Queen Victoria Market, creating an expanded market precinct.

Key themes emerging from the first phase of community and stakeholder engagement include:

  sense of place

  community and culture

  produce and products

  heritage

  transport and access

  tourism and marketing

  sustainability and economy

  future renewal implementation.

The second phase of community engagement will be undertaken in April 2014 and will ask community and stakeholders for feedback on a draft Conceptual Framework for the market and surrounding precinct.
