The Precinct Map Project
Newtown Enmore Erskineville Precinct Map Project
An accessible Newtown, Enmore, and Erskineville Precinct map which will be displayed locally highlighting First Nations knowledge, local businesses, community services, arts hubs, bike tracks and more!
As a newly formed business chamber we are committed to work alongside all facets of our diverse, and vibrant local community to revitalise the Newtown and Enmore Precincts. We want to increase a sense of community pride and resilience, increase public safety, activate place, create a 24 economy, support artists, increase employment opportunities, and create sustainable, innovative, and robust economic growth.
The accessible and inclusive maps will ensure people can navigate the area easily; improving the appeal of the precincts to tourists, boosting the local economy, and contributing to the already vibrant social fabric.
A map that allows people to navigate to vital services is a public safety priority. It is evident that the re-location of the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre has put people experiencing crisis at increased risk, as they have not been able to find it. Having an accurate map to this and other vital services, safe spaces and businesses is essential.
The maps will be displayed throughout the Newtown/Enmore/Erskineville precincts and will be available on the NEBC and other websites. Each map will be a live document and regularly be updated. Some paper copies will be available for those who do not have access to devices or are not 'tech savvy'.
Celebrating our First Nations' Cultural Heritage, the maps embrace cultural and linguistic diversity, every ability, every age, every gender, and our proud LGBTIQ+ communities.
The precinct map project will be developed in 3 phases
Phase one will be the development of a map for the 3 precincts with businesses and community services, bike tracks etc scheduled to be completed within the next 6 months and will include imperative community services consultation.
Phase 2 we engage Gadigal knowledge keepers and employ partners to assist in developing a First Nations site map for the 3 precincts,
Phase 3 invites consultation with disability advocates to ensure that the map is accessible.
The map will be available early 2027
Funded by the City of Sydney – Business Sector Support Grant 2024-2025
