The Your High Street grant program was launched by the NSW Government to support councils across NSW to make permanent improvements to the amenity and functionality of their High Streets. The program provides council's funding for projects targeted at public spaces for dining outdoors, lighting, wider footpaths, natural surveillance, tree planting, traffic calming, lighting, public art or other amenities that might invigorate high streets and boost local economies.

This funding has enabled Maitland City Council to implement a number of interventions in High Street between Grant Street and the Ken Tubman roundabout. Please share you feedback on the new additions.

This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
Feedback closes on 01 October 2023.
