Extended CBD trading hours welcomed by VECCI CEO

 

 

VECCI chief executive Mark Stone has welcomed the extended retail trading hours announced by Melbourne.

"VECCI welcomes today’s announcement by Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Robert Doyle, of extended retail trading hours within certain parts of the CBD," Mr  Stone said.

"It’s encouraging to see the City of Melbourne’s initiative to support retail businesses and make the CBD an even more vibrant place to visit.

"This announcement reflects the continuing evolution of Melbourne’s CBD and the fact that we are a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week economy where customers no longer only shop 9am to 5pm weekdays."

The Victorian Employers' Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VECCI) is the peak body for employers in Victoria, informing and servicing more than 15,000 members, customers and clients around the state.
