Refresh Drummoyne

The Refresh Drummoyne program was launched in July 2010, by Council in partnership with the Drummoyne Steering Committee, to create and foster a viable village style business precinct for the area. Over the past few months Place Partners has researched, audited and consulted the business and residential community. They have prepared an achievable action plan to improve the centre in the next two years.

Drummoyne Village Shopping Centre Action Plan

The Drummoyne Village Shopping Centre Action Plan was adopted by Council on Tuesday, 19 April. The purpose of this plan is to shape future improvements to the Victoria Road Shopping Centre. It is based upon an invigorated partnership between businesses, residents and Council all working together to promote and enhance the many assets of the centre and the need to share responsibility for the improvement of the experience in Drummoyne.  

One of the over arching themes of this plan was to affect quick wins and long term value. It provides actions for the enhancement of the shopping centre around:

• Strategic Planning arrangements to provide certainty for property owners and developers alongside the development of a Public Realm Concept Master Plan (PRCMP) to guide investment and improvement of public spaces in the centre.  
   
• Street Improvements to the public realm (as directed by the PRCMP), improvements to the shop fronts in the area being improved. 
   
• Amenity focusing upon improving communications between Council, visitors, businesses and residents, identifying opportunities to improve parking and vehicle turnover in the centre, and to improve the offers and attractions made to shoppers.
