Vehicles present one of the biggest safety risks on the Melbourne Market site, especially when operating rules are not followed.
The video below is a re-enactment of a real-life forklift incident that injured a market user at the Melbourne Market.
The short animation breaks down and shows all the contributing factors that led to the collision. It reminds us of what we need to do to help ensure we all get home safely to our loved ones.
When operating a buggy or forklift, please remember the following;
Obey speed limits
Wear a seatbelt
Stay securely inside the vehicle while in motion
Always have your headlights on
Drive on the correct side of the road
Do not cut through parking bays
Do not use mobile phone

Melbourne Market in The Age Good Food
Earlier this month, the Melbourne Market was featured in The Age Good Food. The article showcased the market’s people and highlighted the important role the market plays by creating opportunities and competition within the fresh produce industry. It captured the community, the small businesses that power the market, and the opportunities the market provides for smaller growers and wholesalers who do not supply the big supermarkets.
With a focus on increasing the Melbourne Market’s brand visibility, the MMA has been working closely with media outlets to create relationships with relevant journalists, inviting them to experience the market firsthand to better understand its operations and place in the fresh produce supply chain.
We celebrated the first Children in the Market event for 2024 last week, 45 kids visited the market to see their parents/guardians in action.
