The Melbourne City Council has embarked upon an extensive mixed-use redevelopment of the heritage-listed Queen Victoria Market and the local surrounding precinct.

The local residents, Friends of Queen Victoria Market Inc., and long-time traders presented an overview of the redevelopment and explained their petition to save the market.

The event was very well attended with much interest in the informative presentations which were followed by lively debate on how our city and neighbourhoods are being affected by this redevelopment.
