The following email was sent out to traders this morning 12/6/2018
Dear Traders,
Many of you will have seen reports in
the media this morning regarding an alleged terrorism threat earlier this year
focused on Melbourne landmarks, including Queen Victoria Market (QVM).
Victoria Police has confirmed that this
threat was assessed at the time as posing no known threat to QVM, and this
remains the case. QVM Management will continue to work closely with Victoria
Police and other authorities to ensure the market is a safe place for all who
work, shop and visit here.
Our precinct managers and market
officers have been briefed and will be moving through the sheds today and will
be able to answer questions from traders and customers. As a precaution only,
there will be an increased police presence on site over the coming days at both
the day and night market.
If you or your customers have any
questions or concerns, please speak to your precinct manager, market officers
and/or security officer today or to contact me directly.
For more information on what to do in an
emergency download the Emergency Responses fact sheet. Hard copies are also
available for collection at F1.
Regards,
Stan Liacos
