The council had planned to temporarily remove four of the 140-year-old sheds from the market and dig three levels of parking and warehousing for the traders who find them there.

The council is now reviewing its plans.

the new heritage protection – which the city council requested in 2015 – would not prevent the redevelopment of the market.

The cemetery is the largest early colonial cemetery in Australia, and was a resting place for settlers and Abo.
