New Melbourne Market Epping

Melbourne Market performs a vital role as a central market in the wholesale distribution of fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers. It is hub in the national distribution system for fresh produce, providing industry with essential logistic and scale efficiencies.

One of the largest infrastructure projects undertaken in Victoria at the time, the new fresh produce trading and distribution precinct in Epping, Victoria included the relocation of Melbourne Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market and National Flower Centre from Footscray Road, West Melbourne.

The new centre includes a 67,000 m² fruit and vegetable market building and 7,000 square metre national flower centre which is completely surrounded by Lexan Thermoclick clear clerestory natural daylighting. Wonderglas GC roof sheeting used for undercover parking and trading zones maximises daylight and minimises energy consumption.
