How Traders Can Engage On Renewal

The renewal of QVM is being heralded as the biggest single project in Melbourne’s history and for the traders who earn their living at the market it has even more significance. 

There are a number of different ways that traders can be informed on the renewal process, particularly the Draft Master Plan, and how it might affect them.
1. Download the Draft Master Plan document by clicking on one of the entries below.
          a. http://participate.melbourne.vic.gov.au/download_file/1833// - PDF document.
          b. http://participate.melbourne.vic.gov.au/download_file/1836// - Word document.
There is also a Strategic Brief compiled by QVM which informed the Draft Master Plan. It has a lot more detail and is available here - http://participate.melbourne.vic.gov.au/download_file/1835//

2. Visit the engagement centre at 452 Queens St. near the Mercat Cross Hotel. This centre will be open from Monday 2nd March and specific sessions will be held for traders – see article above.

3. Trader Representatives have hired Shop 1 in F shed for traders to visit after market trading on Tuesday 3rd March and Thursday 5th March (2:00pm until 4:00pm both days). We will have copies of the Draft Master Plan on display and hope to have hard copies for handout from Tuesday.

Traders who wish to make comment can visit the engagement centre at 452 Queen St. and ask to have their views recorded or comment on this website and we will make sure all published views and comments are passed on.
