Springvale Market Square
A daily Asian produce market on Queens Avenue in Springvale, part of a shopping precinct that grew alongside Melbourne's largest Vietnamese community.
About this market
Springvale Market Square sits on Queens Avenue in Springvale, in the middle of a shopping precinct that grew alongside Melbourne's largest Vietnamese community following waves of resettlement after the Vietnam War. Unlike a weekend-only stallholder market, it trades daily, with fresh produce and seafood stalls sitting alongside specialty Asian grocers.
A daily market shaped by Springvale's Vietnamese community
The precinct's growth is tied directly to Springvale's history as a resettlement hub, and today more than one in five local residents were born in Vietnam. That history shows up in the market itself: stalls specialise in Asian-style fruit and vegetables, live and fresh seafood, and meat and poultry, alongside herbs and spices harder to find in a standard supermarket.
Market at a glance
Narrow aisles packed with produce stalls and specialty stores give the market an atmosphere closer to a bustling Vietnamese street market than a typical Australian shopping centre, which is part of why it draws shoppers from across Melbourne's south-east rather than just the immediate suburb.
Springvale is home to one of Melbourne's largest Vietnamese communities, and Springvale Market Square's daily trading and Asian produce specialists trace directly back to that post-Vietnam War settlement history.
Good to know before you go
Because it trades every day rather than on a set market day, there's no need to plan around a weekend, and early morning is generally quieter than the lunchtime and after-work rush. Paid parking is available off Balmoral Avenue, and Springvale train station is a short walk away for anyone arriving without a car.
