The Placemaking Action Plan has been incorporated into the Economic Development, Tourism and Placemaking Strategy.
We're developing a five-year Placemaking Action Plan for seven shopping precincts (activity centres) across Bayside, as part of our Economic Development, Tourism and Placemaking Strategy.
Each centre has its own identity, character, and history. The purpose of placemaking is to help create a sense of uniqueness and strengthen connections between people and the places they shop, dine and socialise.
In November 2023, we heard from 700 community members to inform the draft action plan. Their ideas have helped up to uncover new initiatives to identify and prioritise suitable placemaking opportunities in support of the continued growth and prosperity for Bayside.
With over 40 bars, cafes and restaurants, Bay Street is home to the flagship art-house Palace Cinema. Bisected by the railway line of North Brighton Station, Bay Street offers easy access to local entertainment and a unique shopping experience at one of its many independent boutiques.
Tucked behind the Beaumaris Green on Reserve Road, the Concourse is built around a central square of shops. The one-way traffic reduces congestion and creates a quiet, relaxed place to shop, meet and dine.
Landmarked by the iconic Black Rock Clock Tower on Beach Road, the village offers the charm of a small beachside shopping strip. Boasting a family-friendly daytime shopping and dining atmosphere, Black Rock also offers a terrific after sunset scene at the popular bars and restaurants.
Offering a premier shopping experience with high-end fashion boutiques, the tree-lined street is easily accessed from Middle Brighton train station. The street showcases over 260 shops, including a cinema, and 50+ bars, cafes and restaurants.
Hampton Street is Bayside’s longest shopping strip with over 320 businesses. The array of retail, specialty shops and services, and the growth in the local café and dining scene reflects a cosmopolitan Bayside lifestyle.
Martin Street offers a host of cozy eateries, as well as homeware and grocery stores, independent fashion boutiques and personal services. The strip is well serviced with local bus and train options at Gardenvale station.
The last stop on the Sandringham trainline, the prominent palm trees and artistic installations contribute to the relaxed beachside Village atmosphere. The excellent food, retail and service offerings compliment the Village's delightful charm.
Share your thoughts and ideas for one or all of the seven activity centres in the Placemaking Action Plan.
