City Centre Marketing and Improvements Levy

The levy is a partnership between levy payers, the City Renewal Authority and the ACT Government that supports actions that contribute to the long-term sustainable growth, economic prosperity, culture, creativity and vibrancy of the Levy Collection Zone.

Levy-funded activities aim to:

• Contribute to increased visitation and economic activity within the City Centre
• Contribute to additional cleaning, graffiti removal, public lighting, security or crowd control, minor public works, street furniture, beautification and high-quality events in Civic, Braddon and Acton.
• Encourage the public and private sector to maintain a high standard of public/private interface in Civic, Braddon and Acton.
• Administer funding for a discrete program of works which is coordinate, integrated and complementary with the broader work of City Renewal Authority and the ACT Government.
• Encourage engagement by Levy Payers (and the community) in the priority setting and reporting activities of the Levy.

Levy-funded activities include:

• Cleaning, maintenance and place management above and beyond existing ACT Government services.
• Creative vibrant streets through street beautification and reducing commercial vacancy rates.
• Partnerships and events to help create a fun and culturally vibrant City Centre.
• Communications and engagement to promote levy funded activities and keep you informed.
• Capital works projects that align with the City Renewal Authority's strategic vision for the city.

In setting the priorities for the levy, the City Renewal Authority engages closely with levy payers and broader stakeholders. Each financial year the priority setting process for the levy is re-addressed so that it meets levy payers current needs while also meeting the framework principles.
