About 25 years ago many city centres in Australia closed
their main shopping streets to vehicle traffic and turned them into pedestrian
malls with the aim of making people movement easier. Some pedestrian malls have
worked well, whilst others have been dismal failures and have since been
converted back to streets allowing vehicular traffic.
One Mall that has worked well is the Crown Street Mall in
the NSW Illawarra city of Wollongong. Factors leading to its success include
the major shopping centres on either side of the mall, its covering to keep out
rain, attractive water features, the seating provided, and the free entertainment provided in the Mall Amphitheatre on a regular
basis.
The Crown Street Mall will celebrate its 25th Birthday on
Saturday 15th October 2011 with a special Family Fun Day from 11am to 3pm.
