Circular Quay business owners say they’ve suffered from years of inaction over plans to transform Sydney’s harbour front.
Sydney business owners have expressed frustration at the NSW government’s most recent vow to transform Circular Quay, saying they’ve suffered from years of uncertainty about plans to redevelop the harbour front.
Perrottet said on Sunday the changes would “enhance” the site, draw more visitors and tourists, and reconnect the city and harbour. But Labor on Monday criticised them as another “grandiose promise”, while City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the government should redirect the funds to help demolish the expressway.
“It should be allowed to be a busy, thriving place, and they shouldn’t try to kill it, which seems to be the plan.” Liberiou said some business owners had experienced financial stress due to inaction on the plans. He wants the government to provide compensation to affected retailers, and flexibility for them to improve their businesses.Gelato Messina owner Whitney Khuu said: “It mostly doesn’t affect us a lot, more [it affects businesses] at the wharf.
