Cumberland Town Centres

Project Overview

Stay up to date onour Town Centres and Public Domain Plans

Cumberland has a strong local identity which it derives from a network of centres that foster a range of small and medium businesses. Our centres include many of the District’s great places.

We also have a number of high quality, diverse and inclusive town centres. Our town centres have a range of services and facilities to support future growth. They are a focus for community life, retailing and entertainment, providing a highly valued ‘cultural’ atmosphere. With opportunities for markets, festivals and other community events, our centres are an important part of the social fabric of Cumberland and a meeting place for the community. Council recognises the importance of retaining and promoting the essential role and character of our centres, and especially the small businesses they support as the backbone of our local economy and culture.
