The revitalisation of thisprecinct, including the provision of newcommunity facilities and associated squares,would rebrand Wollongong as the culturalcentre of the region. This precinct should beconsidered as a whole, with art, public spaceand cultural facilities working together to createa vibrant and memorable precinct focusing onperformance, celebration, festivals, markets,art and outdoor dining.
