As I do my daily walk around the sheds and halls of Queen Victoria Market, the signs of a returning to pre-COVID vibrancy are everywhere: the queues of hungry shoppers lining up at the top of H Shed to get their obligatory doughnut; the smell of fresh seafood floating across the crowds in the Meat and Fish Hall.
Even before we were hit with COVID-19, there has been an often-robust community conversation about the best way to protect and enhance the southern hemisphere’s largest open-air market. Some voices have viewed proposed changes with deep suspicion, believing the market should stay just as it is forever. Others have thrown their support behind proposals to modernise the market’s operations, while protecting its heritage.
The truth is that over its almost 150-year history, the market has always evolved to meet the needs of traders, shoppers and other visitors. This constant movement forward has seen market sheds become lavish halls; horses and carts have been replaced by trucks and forklifts. Sections reserved for local haberdashery have made way for stalls filled with colourful goods from around the world. The market has never stood still.
