The new plaza, together with the visitor hub and additional retail locations in String Bean Alley, will welcome visitors entering from the south and draw customers into the heart of the market.
Installation was completed in May 2019 and includes:
- new citrus trees in planter containers
- large planter boxes
- large umbrellas to provide shade
- new bench seats
- relocation of the existing benches and tree planters into the new plaza layout
- powered spaces to support performance and other creative uses
- adjustment of the existing kerbs and surfaces to create a safe and accessible space.
All furniture and planters are designed to be movable, offering a fully flexible space.
This is one of many actions we are taking to deliver on the recommendations of the People’s Panel Report (PDF 860 KB) and feedback from traders and customers, for a greener, safer, more connected market.
