Working together for a better City Centre

We want to hear your ideas

Throughout May and early June, we will be collaborating with CBD businesses to paint a comprehensive picture of the area. This will help the RiverLink team understand how to effectively plan and manage construction work, reducing impacts on businesses and their customers.

Our aim is to work together with businesses to minimise disruption, allowing for seamless progress while maintaining a thriving local economy.

What are up to?

Imagine a bustling CBD filled with vibrant businesses, a hub of activity that draws visitors from far and wide. It’s a place that’s alive with energy, and it’s essential to ensure that it continues to thrive. That’s where this work comes in. Our goal is to maintain and increase visitation to this area, so it remains a top priority and preference for locals and visitors.

We want to help grow the amount of money spent here to support commercial sustainability throughout and beyond the RiverLink project. With a better understanding of businesses’ needs and opportunities we can ensure that this area remains a vibrant and thriving destination for years to come.
