Municipal Markets, Brisbane, 1962. 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, were the Brisbane Markets are located today.
