The Melbourne Market moved from an ageing West Melbourne site to the safer, more efficient and modern Epping facility in 2015. The move provided businesses with significant food handling and logistical advantages and the option to consolidate operations within the market to reduce handling, transport and labour costs.
The fruit and vegetable market consists of two areas offering an abundance of fresh local and imported produce: the Trading Floor and Buyers Walk. The Trading Floor accommodates 330 stands of over 12,500 square meters and is home to many of the market’s small to medium growers and wholesalers. The Buyers’ Walk is made up of permanent stores occupied by more than 100 larger wholesalers and some of Australia’s biggest fresh produce distributors.
Patronage is available to approved buyers from food-related industries including independent supermarkets, greengrocers, providores, hospitality businesses, aged care facilities, food processors and manufacturers.
Victorian growers contribute approximately 40 per cent of Australia’s cut flowers, and the National Flower Centre (NFC) boasts Australia’s most extensive selection of quality fresh flowers and plants. The NFC features 152 permanent stands and purpose-built cool rooms occupied by more than 60 growers and sellers, providing optimal facilities for trade within Victoria, Australia and international export. More than 650+ floristry businesses visit the NFC on key trading days: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The Melbourne Market boasts more than 93,000 square metres of warehousing, allowing businesses to consolidate their operations on-site and reduce handling, transport and labour costs. For more information, please see warehousing
More than a market, the site is a thriving mini city that comes alive each night, powering Victoria’s fresh produce and flower industries. In addition to market traders, the Melbourne Market boasts a range of support businesses including a recycling transfer station, vehicle and equipment hire and servicing, LPG and diesel refuelling stations, cafes, a truck wash and retail supply stores.
