Haymarket and Chinatown revitalisation strategy

The Haymarket and Chinatown area is a special place for our community members. It’s a place of cultural belonging, experiences and memories, a place to find diverse, affordable and authentic food, and a place to shop for unique Asian groceries.

The past few years have been challenging for the area and we’ve heard from the community that it needs revitalisation.

The community told us they would like to see Haymarket become a vibrant and bustling place that celebrates diverse Asian cultures. A place that preserves its history and character while embracing contemporary forms of cultural expression.

This strategy, alongside the Haymarket and Chinatown public domain plan, shows how we can achieve the community’s vision for Haymarket and Chinatown.
