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
