CAMBERWELL CATCH-UP

As we continue to navigate these ever-changing times, business operators in the Camberwell shopping precinct are doing their best to adapt and accommodate customers.

Many local traders have come up with creative ways to keep bringing you all of your favourite products and services, whether that be through home delivery, pick-up orders, streaming services, or adjusting how they trade in accordance with government restrictions.

Now more than ever, we need you to support our local shops in Camberwell, so we can continue to have a thriving shopping precinct.

The majority of restaurants and cafes are operating and many of them are providing home delivery and takeaway services. We encourage you to support our local food businesses as much as you can during this time – place a delivery order for dinner or pick up your favourite meal, and enjoy a night off from cooking.

Key supermarkets in Camberwell remain open including Woolworths, Coles and Aldi, as well as speciality food stores such as Camberwell Fresh Food Market, Coltivare, Rainbow Meats, The Source Bulk Foods and local bakeries, so you can continue to stock up on grocery items.

Likewise, local chemists and medical services also continue to operate so you can access the healthcare and medicine you need.

And don’t forget about Camberwell’s many independently run businesses that make the precinct so unique. It’s the gift stores, bookshops, fashion boutiques, beauty salons and homeware stores that truly need your support during this time. If you have any birthdays, anniversaries or other special occasions coming up, consider purchasing a gift or voucher from one of these stores.

We’d like to thank you for continuing to support shops in Burke Rd and the junction, and encourage you to continue supporting local businesses.

FRESH NEW LOOK FOR COOKSON ST PRECINCT

Cookson St precinct has been revitalised, making it a more pedestrian-friendly public space. The improvement works, carried out by Boroondara Council, have increased public space for seating, socialising, and dining in the area, which is located next to Camberwell train station between Burke Rd and Holly St. The streetscape project has widened the footpaths and raised the road pavement to provide all-abilities access for pedestrians. The new seating, trees, sculptures, and signage aims to enhance the general appearance of the precinct, which is known as a busy hub for train passengers and locals. “This project intends to revitalise the streetscape amenity and it has done exactly that by providing a pedestrian-friendly gateway into the Camberwell shopping centre,” said Junction Ward Councillor Jack Wegman. “Over $800,000 has been spent since 2018 to revitalise Cookson St, which is another example of council’s ongoing support for businesses and the community in Boroondara.” Camberwell Centre Association manager Kerry Daly said any refurbishment project for the Camberwell shopping precinct was very much appreciated by both local traders and the Camberwell community. “It is very important to keep the precinct looking fresh and inviting; a place locals can be proud of. We hope that Boroondara Council will undertake more upgrade projects in the future,” she said. “The revitalisation of Cookson St will help focus attention on this historic Burke Hill area. It also creates an attractive and welcoming gathering space for locals, visitors and customers to enjoy.”
