Cockburn Response
The Cockburn supports this application.
North Bridge is an important and high traffic thoroughfare. The proposed unification and upgrading of retail units along the hotel’s façade will result in a significant and welcome aesthetic improvement to the street.
The introduction of new retails units into Jeffrey Street is also to Jeffrey Street is also welcome. In addition to an aesthetic improvement, this should encourage more street activation and support pedestrian security along the street.
