Brisbane Produce Markets, Rocklea, December 1970. Brisbane’s first Central Market began in 1868 in a Brisbane Municipal Council built shed on the corner of Charlotte and Eagle Streets. It closed in 1881 due to poor patronage. In 1885, the Council opened the purpose-built Municipal Market in Roma Street, beside the railway station. Due to increasing congestion, the State Government agreed to move the Central Market to Rocklea in 1964.
