25.01.2022 This beautiful example of Italianate architecture is about to be torn down and replaced with more dog box apartments. Melbourne is losing its heritage at the rate of knots! If you’ve traveled through Europe you’ll see how they protect their architecture! We are becoming a soulless city. Please sign if you feel this way! https://www.change.org/p/simon-jmgillies-com-au-stop-demoli

15.01.2022 Dear Friends of Queen Victoria Market and supporters, If it is humanly possible, we implore you to come to the Queen Victoria Market Rally on Friday, 28 April ...from 11.30 to 1.00pm, corner of Queen & Therry Streets, to demonstrate your resolve to save the market from the City of Melbourne’s proposed intention to re-purpose our market into an entertainment and gourmet food precinct. Bring friends, workmates & family. Please share/forward the Save Vic Market Rally event with all your networks & request they do the same. This rally is a celebration of our working market which was gifted to the people of Melbourne for the sole purpose as a working market. Your presence in numbers will demonstrate the power that community has in protecting this precious asset and shaping its future. It could be crowded making parking difficult so I suggest public transport if possible. By Tram: The Market is located within the free tram zone. Take the 19, 57 or 59 to Stop 7, Elizabeth St or Tram 55 to Stop 9, Peel St. By Train: Only a 7 minute walk from Melbourne Central and Flagstaff Stations. Walk north along Elizabeth or William Street. By Bus: The Melbourne Visitor Shuttle is a great way to explore inner city Melbourne. Get off at stop 8 on this daily, half hourly service. By Bike: There is free bike parking in and around the Market. Major bike lanes leading to the Market run along Royal Parade and Victoria Street. By Car: Enter the market car park from Franklin or Queen Streets.

07.01.2022 City of Melbourne’s Heritage Forum debacle last night at the Multicultural Hub so tiresome & deja vu. CoM rolled out its usual ‘glossy brochure’ propaganda at... last night’s public meeting with a format that suited primary school children - an insult to the caliber of people attending wanting to contribute to the ‘conversation’. Once again we heard the same old cliches about loving the fabric of the market, heartfelt memories about childhood market experiences, about preserving the heritage etc, all this while digging up 4 sheds for expensive, massive cool rooms & vast service area no-one (traders or customers) want, building high-rise towers (now accepted as a yesterday concept) around the perimeter of the market, re-locating market parking (accessibility & affordability not yet resolved), erecting a ‘temporary glass house’ to house what is left of the traders (we have lost ONE THIRD of traders under the current management) I could go on but the many thousands of you who read this page have heard it all before. The good news is that Rob Adams - the man behind the plan - perhaps is prepared to talk and went so far as to say the excavation under sheds A B C D and H I is not a fait accompli. And again, what was so apparent is that planning decisions are being made by people behind desks, alienated from the real issue, not seeking the expertise from the market floor but taking false advice from the market management and Board. Rob Adams & Joanne Wandel, it is time to sit down to REALLY talk & listen to traders & all stakeholders. We all want the best outcome for our market that is driven, not by developers, but by the market community in collaboration with the Council - or it too late for that now? It was interesting to note that QVM’s CEO was entertaining the Melbourne Rebels football team in the VIP area at the night market while this important meeting was taking place. Chairman of the QVM Board left the Heritage Forum early, probably to join them. Not a good look - shows the disdain these people have for the future of our market.

04.01.2022 The state government was "digging Robert Doyle out of a hole" and market traders could live with the tower Mr Wynne had approved, Mr Cleary said. "We don't thin...k it's necessary there's a glut of apartments but we can live with it." But he warned that plans to excavate beneath market sheds would create a major battleground for the Andrews government. "If Daniel Andrews and Richard Wynne endorse a strategy for bulldozers to march into that market to destroy those sheds, there will be massive public resistance," Mr Cleary said. Friends, will your resist the excavation? How?
01.01.2022 Suspicions that something was not right appear to have been confirmed.
