Seven Laneways Transformed From Drab To Fab

From chic outdoor dining spaces to live performance stages and a lush urban jungle, Maitlanes is now in full swing.

Running until the end of April, we have transformed seven laneways across Central Maitland, which are playing host to a diverse entertainment program, from comedy nights and acoustic sessions to yoga, movie screenings and more.

It’s all part of a plan to encourage visitation to Central Maitland and boost our night time economy. Check out the full Maitlanes program at mait.city/maitlanes
