Crown Street Urban Design Direction

To assist the transformation of the Precinct into the city’ premier downtown retail and commercial destination, CIVITAS was asked to:

• Identify and evaluate factors based on principles that encourage successful, sustainable, urban mixed use and retail relative to current policies and practices.
• Test Wollongong’s built form policies to assess how they support or preclude new investment.
• Provide precedents and examples to support the findings and recommendations.
• Recommend actions to build support for stronger private and public investment.
• Identify catalyst actions that could be undertaken immediately to stimulate new development activity in the City Centre.
