MELBOURNE WHOLESALE MARKETS
Epping VIC
This project, one of the largest infrastructure projects being
currently undertaken in Victoria, is to relocate Melbourne's wholesale
fruit, vegetable and flower markets to a new site in Epping, in
Melbourne's north. This development will deliver a modern, innovative
and efficient distribution facility surrounded by extensive complementary
infrastructure that will aid the transportation, handling and
marketing of fresh produce.
The Melbourne Market Relocation Project is about ensuring the
ongoing viability and relevance of the Wholesale Market as an
essential link in the distribution channel for fresh produce in
Australia by developing a new, efficient and integrated trading
environment.
Our role in the project was to work extensively with both the
market community and the government in preparing this strategic
reference design for both the buildings and the highly complex
hardstand circulation. This design was used as the primary briefing
tool for the design and construct tender.
