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.

We’re seeking your feedback to help inform the draft action plan. Your ideas will help us to uncover new initiatives to identify and prioritise suitable placemaking opportunities in support of the continued growth and prosperity for Bayside.

  • Bay Street, Brighton

    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.

  • Beaumaris Concourse

    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.

  • Black Rock Village

    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.

  • Church Street, Brighton

    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, Hampton

    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, Gardenvale

    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.

  • Sandringham Village

    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.
