What is public realm?

Great streets and public places are essential to creating a more inviting precinct where business can thrive, attracting visitors and locals alike.

Developing a network of well-connected streets and laneways, plazas and parks, will attract more visitors and shoppers, provide public places for locals to come together, and create commercial opportunities for existing and new businesses to flourish.

What we aim to achieve

Our key aspirations for the centre:

  • Provide quality streets and public spaces to meet the needs of an increasing number of people that will live, work and visit the area in the future.
  • Expand green infrastructure in the centre.
  • Improve the pedestrian, accessibility and connectivity experience across the activity centre.
  • Create new adaptable public spaces that encourage gathering and socialising for all.
  • Ensure open spaces are accessible to surrounding residential development and the centre.
