Key initiatives

Since formation, we have initiated a number of key programs:

• A program to develop plans and raise funds via a partnership of private, City of Sydney and government stakeholders.
• Workgroups have been established to involve local business owners, residents and representatives of government in charting the changes in our community and creating leadership for the future.
• A program of events and promotions to attract visitors and residents and help market key local business sectors.
• Building on the area’s positive image as Australia’s premier dining, nightlife and arts precinct.
• A new website as a major step towards creating links between local businesses, the arts, community groups, residents, visitors and government.
• A short documentary film about the area was completed in early 2005
• A training project involving the production of a feature film was completed in 2007 and the film, CROSS LIFE, was screened at the 2007 Sydney Film Festival.
• A research study was undertaken to develop plans for a more suitable business mix in the area.
