Two construction projects, led by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, are underway at Meat Market. This includes the creation of a flexible rehearsal hall and enclosed performance space in the Flat Floor Pavilion, and a new access ramp at the back of the building in the car park and courtyard area.

These projects will provide Meat Market tenants and hirers with:

• the option of hiring a flexible, acoustically-treated space that can be enclosed for small-scale events or opened up for full event mode
• a new accessible entrance via the courtyard

The ramp will also improve loading for events (i.e. for food and beverage delivery and bump in requirements).

Meat Market will remain open while these projects are underway. Creative Victoria, City of Melbourne and Meat Market teams are working closely together and with stakeholders to minimise disruption for tenants and hirers during the construction process.

If you have any questions, please contact the Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation and Infrastructure team in Creative Victoria. Email: cvinfrastructure@creative.vic.gov.au
