The Open Streets Program aims to inject vibrancy into our streets and help create thriving local places that support businesses, creative sectors, and the community through events and activations.  To ensure a festive and enjoyable experience for all attendees, expanded road closure areas have been designated to accommodate to temporarily close a street(s) and bring them alive through community events allowing people to enjoy and safely access.

Street activations and events under this Program will be delivered by January 2025, and will be free, open, and accessible to all.
