laneways across Maitland transformed
Maitlanes has now come to an end. Proudly funded by the NSW Government’s Streets as Shared Spaces program, the initiative ran from February to April and delivered seven unique laneway transformations and 66 programming sessions that helped support local creatives, entertainers, facilitators, artists, and businesses.
The project targeted laneways dominated by vehicles or underutilised spaces, and was designed to achieve the following:
- Create new usable public space with a strong connection with High Street
- Improving walkability in the City Centre
- Changing the hierarchy of the streets
- Supporting greater social connection
The purpose of the project was to feature a mix of creative and practical interventions that would test permanent change and strengthen the economic vitality of Central Maitland.
While most of the Maitlanes treatments will remain unchanged, some laneways will have elements removed to reinstate access for vehicles. For more information about the status of remaining laneways, see each of the site locations below.
