Businesses in Coogee are coming together to mount a Coogee Bay Road dining and entertainment pop-up precinct to help each other bounce back amidst the pandemic.
Among the proposed ideas is to host a ‘live and local’ stage for musicians and pop-up parks where people can also enjoy the finest food in the city. The proposal has the backing of Mayor Danny Said.
“All of our town centres and businesses have been hit hard by COVID-19. In particular, the Coogee town centre has been disrupted by both COVID and recent road upgrade works,” Mr Said stated. “During recent weeks and months, I have heard from businesses of the pressure space restrictions are having on local cafes and I have heard our local hotels continue to experience high accommodation vacancies. Businesses are feeling the pressure and Council is looking at ways we can help to boost our local economy and create jobs.”
