Amendment C245 relates to the Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal and
aims to amend the built form controls around the market to better reflect the significant
changes that have taken place in our part of the city.
Following public consultation a number of submissions were made in relation
to the amendment and an independent planning panel has been set up to handle
those submissions. A directions hearing was held on Tuesday
12 April 2016 with the Panel Hearing to commence on Monday 2 May 2016. The
panel members are Trevor McCullough, Lorina Nervegna and Tania Quick.
Amendment C245 proposes to:
- apply a public use
zone to the Queen Victoria Market to reflect its ongoing importance as a
community place. As a registered heritage place, development of the site
will continue to be subject to permits from Heritage Victoria
- protect the
existing heritage sheds and the new open space from overshadowing
- ensure adequate
sunlight
- provide
environmental wind control – promoting comfortable pedestrian conditions
at street level.
