Preston Market Update: 20th May 2020

Please see in the document below the amendments Councilor Greco proposed at the Council Meeting on Monday the 18th.

The sections in red are aimed at recognizing and applying in full the recommendations from the RBA Heritage Review. This includes the recommendations to reinstate covered and lost features.

This review was commissioned by council and is now the third extensive report on the heritage significance of Preston Market. It makes very clear that the architectural features, the space frame roof, concrete walls, curtain air-conditioning etc should be protected via a heritage overlay.   the significant features cannot be protected if the building is demolished and moved to the edge of the site.

Rebuilding Preston Market is the preference of the owner developer.
