Serviced apartments
The development of the eastern end of Civic Place (the Archer Street Precinct) as a commercial precinct has a number of benefits:
- serviced apartments will provide on site accommodation for performers, audiences and conference delegates
- the uses will assist in ensuring Civic Place is subject to natural surveillance both during the day and late into the night, thus increasing the security of the site
- the commercial use will optimise the use and economic value of Council assets
88 Archer Street land has been sold on a 99 year lease and will be developed in accordance with the 2004 Masterplan for Civic Place. Serviced apartments and retail spaces are to be built by a private developer.
