Creative Collingwood of today is quite a contrast to the tough industrial beginnings of this area. As we walk, covering just three streets, the fabric of remaining buildings will prompt some stories. We will also discover how these spaces now provide scope for an impressive range of creative initiatives. We will ask ourselves the question "What does this tell us about the community we find here today?"

Find the reasons to stop and walk along Parramatta Road and Norton Street, as we traverse the precinct to find placemaking projects, meet local makers and discover street art waling the way. We will be looking at small creative businesses that are working to revitalise the area such as The Backyard Network, Wyld & Whimsy and The Rizzeria. We will discuss 'living local' and observe street activation projects along the way.
