We are planning upgrades to the public spaces in the beloved Dickson Shops precinct.
The upgrades aim to create a safe, connected, and inviting shopping and community hub. The improvements will ensure the Dickson Shops meet the needs of a growing residential population and attracts visitors, in turn supporting business and economic activity.
Draft designs have been developed based on feedback from local businesses, building owners, and key community members. They have also been informed by community input as presented in the Dickson Place Plan. The designs have been thoughtfully crafted to refresh the Dickson Shops precinct while retaining its distinct character and charm.
Proposed features will likely include new paving, seating, lighting, and garden beds.
We are also planning to declutter spaces, improve stormwater drainage and upgrade Badham Street’s pedestrian crossing.
Public consultation is open until 23 April 2024. Please visit YourSay Conversations to view and comment on the proposed designs.
