The main street of Grafton has seen some exciting changes since Christmas.

December saw the installation of the raised pedestrian crossings, the gnome tour and the projection art stories of Grafton at 53 Prince Street. Watch the video of Grafton lit up at night!

In January, in the main block of Prince Street, the footpaths were widened, planter boxes were installed and the parking was changed to nose-in.

In February the Superorganism light and sound experience was installed in Market Square, art was added to the planter boxes and posters displaying reproductions from the Grafton Regional Gallery’s collection were pasted around Prince Street.

Still to come are First Nations stories, heritage stories and the Prince Street Marketta event on 20th May when the street will be closed to traffic for live music a food, showcasing Grafton's local talent.

Fill in the survey below to let us know what you think before 31 May. Survey is now closed.

Rediscover Grafton is fully funded by the Streets as Shared Spaces program. This program is a key initiative of the NSW Government’s efforts to support local business and local communities.
