Preston Market
The customary proprietors of Preston (the suburb area) were the Wurundjeri public. In 1837 an assessor/craftsman named Robert Hoddle studied the land. Hoddle’s studying lead to changing the once cultivating and brushing suburb into an all the more economically involved region in the late nineteenth century. There were around twenty tanneries working in Preston including the Broadhurst Tannery which was built on the Preston Market site in 1888.
After World War II, travelers from one side of the planet to the other showed up in Victoria making Preston their new home. These travelers included Greek, Macedonian, Italian, Middle Eastern, Vietnamese, Chinese, Sri Lankan, Somali just to give some examples.
The introduction of the Preston Market was on account of Polish travelers Leon and Lola Jolson. The two lived in Carlton and claimed a land office in East Prahran with a fantasy to assemble and work a market. The development stage started in October 1969 with Mayor Larkin laying the primary stake onto the Preston Market site. Barry Pierce (engineer), Noel Henderson (amount assessor) and David Rayson (developer) were the three driving forces behind the general consummation of the market. The authority opening was in 1970; a period where malls were being built as encased spaces with cooling and warming. Since the opening, the market has been working constantly with a reasonable multicultural presence.

Preston Market’s proprietors, Salta Properties, haven’t resolved to ensure every one of the things about the market that the local area thinks often about.
That is the reason Darebin Council is approaching the Victorian Planning Minister, the Hon. Richard Wynne MP to utilize his powers to change the arranging system to ensure Salta Properties secures the market in any future advancement of the site.
