Coordinators of fair have announced that they plan to hold a 'Makers and Inventions Market' in March 2021.
Details for this event are yet to be confirmed.
"We hope many of our Steampunk fans will be able to join us at the market which will coincide with our March 'Steaming Day'," said coordinators Julianne Salway and Angela Remington.
"We will release further information on this event as planning continues later in the year."
At the Ordinary Goulburn Mulwaree Council meeting held on Tuesday, June 16, it was determined that the 2020 Steampunk Victoriana Fair not proceed in light of COVID-19 restrictions and uncertainty around when restrictions on events and festivals may ease.

It was also determined that the budget for the 2020 event be transferred to an Events Reserve for use towards the 2021 event, or possibly an alternate event at the Goulburn Historic Waterworks.
"We were looking forward to hosting this year's fair, however we understand why this decision was made," said Julieanne and Angela.
"A multitude of considerations went into making this decision, in particular the health and safety of those involved in running the fair, as well as that of the attendees.
"We look forward to planning a bigger and better Steampunk Victoriana Fair in 2021 and we can't wait to welcome back the style, the flair, stunning creativeness and smiling faces".
The 2021 Steampunk Victoriana Fair will be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 16-17.
