Market Mix Policy and Five Year Market Mix Strategy
South Melbourne Market has cemented itself as a unique village experience seen nowhere else across Melbourne and Australia. It is an urban food forest full of quirky and playful characters and art.
This Market Mix Policy and Five Year Market Mix Strategy has been developed to ensure the Market stays relevant to the community and remains one of Melbourne’s favourite markets.
A wide range of research studies have been reviewed in the development of this Policy & Strategy which is summarised in this document for the community.
South Melbourne Market and the City of Port Phillip acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our City is located, and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
