Munro development – narrm ngarrgu Library and Family Services
The Munro development is a vital part of the $250m Queen Victoria Market Renewal. Backed by sustainability and user experience design values, the 11-level tower hosts the City of Melbourne’s new narrm ngarrgu Library and family services with a dedicated children's library, creative makerspace, podcast and audio recording studios, social housing, a landscaped terrace and an event auditorium. It's home to the Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation Hub and fine grain retail on the ground.
"Six Degrees' design of narrm ngarrgu Library and Family Services seamlessly integrates into Melbourne's social fabric, fostering community engagement and celebrating cultural diversity. Through a profound Wurundjeri collaboration, the project becomes a celebration of Indigenous art and culture—a truly community-centric design that reflects our vibrant and inclusive city spirit. It stands as a major contribution to the City of Melbourne and a cornerstone of the Queen Victoria Market precinct renewal and activation."
— Lord Mayor Sally Capp
Updating the Queen Vic precinct with active laneways and modern community amenity gifts a new public heart to a much-loved Melbourne treasure. The Munro site is expected to deliver an estimated $70M public benefit, in one of Australia’s most sustainable mixed-use developments.

This project hits all five and as such will have financial, social and environmental benefits for the City. Six Degrees have skilfully designed an outstanding set of buildings that exceeded our expectations.” Prof. Rob Adams AM, City Architect, City of Melbourne
