Macquarie Street Precinct (George Town)

The council is seeking to activate the current and future commercial precinct to provide an attractive area for

locals to work, shop and socialise – while positioning the town as an attractive visitor destination by:

  • Constructing a footbridge to connect the town’s centre with York Cove

  • Revitalising Macquarie Street to reduce traffic flow and encourage foot traffic

  • Erecting a 12m-18m lookout tower to showcase the town centre

  • This concept is a significant addition to George Town’s sense of identity and place.

Support Requested

Investment request of $8M
