The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria (RASV) is pleased to share the Phase 2 Engagement Report on the Melbourne Showgrounds draft 30-year Vision, following community and stakeholder consultation that occurred in late 2020.

The report summarises the feedback on the draft Vision and community and stakeholder thoughts on programs and activities that could be delivered through a new Centre of Excellence for Food and Agriculture.
The Victorian community’s continued enthusiasm for and connection with Melbourne Showgrounds was clearly demonstrated in the responses we received over the course of engagement on the Our Showgrounds, Our Future project.

Many community members, Royal Melbourne Show patrons and exhibitors and Melbourne Showgrounds clients and guests contributed to the Our Showgrounds, Our Future project, by attending workshops, completing the online survey or sharing their memories of Melbourne Showgrounds.

While the release of the Phase 2 Engagement Summary Report concludes the formal consultation on the project, interested stakeholders are encouraged to register for updates and keep in touch as we work to transform Melbourne Showgrounds into a hub for Victoria’s agriculture, food and beverage sectors and a year-round events, entertainment and commercial precinct.
