REDISCOVER GRAFTON

Project brings vibrance and colour to Prince Street

A ‘Marketta’ will be held on Saturday 20 May as part of the ongoing Rediscover Grafton trial to transform Prince Street into a more attractive and active destination.

The street party will see local businesses and performers utilise the recently widened footpaths to bring the main street to life.

Rediscover Grafton is a collaboration between Council and multiple stakeholders including Transport for NSW, Serco, Grafton Chamber of Commerce, businesses, local artists and storytellers, and prominent leaders in the local community. It is fully funded by the NSW Government’s Streets as Shared Spaces program and is the first step in implementing the Grafton Precinct Plan for the Grafton CBD.

Feedback is being collected via an online survey, capturing emails, letters and social media responses, an audit of pedestrian traffic, and speaking directly to businesses and the community.

Council will assess the trial and make a decision about the continuation of the project in June 2023.
