Media Response |

The feedback to the Gingerbread House installation has been overwhelmingly positive.

Traffic counts were done prior to the road closure.

Emergency Services have been advised of the road closure.  Emergency access is still available on the western laneway.

Traders adjoining the site have been consulted directly. Traders along Sturt St and Albert St have been advised of the project.

The site was chosen because it is a good fit for the project, it accommodates low vehicle volumes, it is centrally located in this section of Sturt St, offers a safe environment, and is accessible to Parent Place for families, with access to public toilets and parent facilities.

The Gingerbread House is part of a Sturt Street Christmas trail stretching from Myer to the Bridge Mall.

Christmas activations like the Gingerbread House have been found to bring more foot traffic to traders.

The Gingerbread House installation is part of Council’s overall Christmas decoration budget.

 Additional parking is being provided along Sturt St.

Free parking begins this Monday.
