Animation

There are a number of events held Downtown each year, and there is capacity for more frequent and consistent programming, particularly at Memorial Park and Tom Davies Square. A regular and fuller schedule of events would help keep Downtown animated, attract more visitors and discourage unwanted activity.

The Downtown Action Plan commits to:

• City-led programming to fill in vacant dates to ensure there is activity in public spaces on a frequent and regular basis.
• Review and improve the booking process for events in public spaces such as Memorial Park, Tom Davies Square, Bell Park and other event venues to make hosting events easier.
• Improvements to Memorial Park to enable better programming for tents, stages and to make event delivery more of a ‘plug and play’ experience.
