NSW’s Favourite Urban Place 2025
Civic Laneways
Vote for your top 3 civic laneways below, by the 1st November.
Small but mighty, civic laneways have many uses. Not just connections, they are great places in their own right, wherewe shop, eat, or enjoy a quiet moment. Many laneways have been transformed by urban design from service lanes to civic destinations offering a human scale and unique feel to the rest of the city. Gritty and charming, civic laneways are hidden gems bringing character, creativity, and a bit of surprise to urban life.
