There are 5 key laneways in Manly's CBD:

  1. Market Place
  2. Short Street Plaza
  3. Rialto Lane and Rialto Square
  4. Henrietta Lane
  5. Central Avenue

The draft place plan proposes a number of ways to bring our laneways to life. Live music, public art and light installations will encourage a diversity of day and night-time offerings catering to all ages. These initiatives will build on Council's recent Arts and Creative Strategy published in 2019, Connected Through Creativity 2029, which sets out our commitment to supporting and growing a vibrant creative culture, authentic to the Northern Beaches.

Click the markers on the images below to find out more about some of the features proposed for Short Street Plaza and Market Place. The concept designs also outline some artist impressions of the future of Manly centre. Exploring these will assist you in completing the quick survey on the project home page.
