BACK IN BUSINESS I’m pleased to bring the Fairfield Flyer back to businesses after a year-long break. 2020 was a difficult year, but our community proved to be very resilient and I want to congratulate you for dealing with the challenges of COVID-19 so successfully. Last year, Council introduced measures to support the business community, while continuing to deliver essential services and forge ahead with our annual program of City maintenance and improvements. Fairfield City Centre recently welcomed back activities that were put on hold in 2020. Wonderful Wednesday returned in March and the Easter Bunny delighted families in April. In May, we will celebrate Mother’s Day as well as the return of Culinary Carnival. This event will bring thousands of visitors to the centre in a COVID-Safe environment, offering excellent publicity for businesses. Council continues to invest strongly in the Fairfield City Centre. In March we opened the new Fairfield Library at
1-3 Hamilton Road, and soon we will open the Community Business Hub at the old Fairfield Library site in Kenyon Street. These projects will support businesses, students and families in the city centre. We will also restore significant monuments and upgrade lighting and wayfinding signage. The State Government’s Dine & Discover program has launched to encourage the community to get out and about and support dining, arts and tourism businesses. Is your business registered?
