Your High Street Program

Maitland City Council has been successful in securing grant funding as part of the NSW Government ‘Your High Street’ (YHS) program.

The YHS program supports councils across NSW to make permanent improvements to the amenity and functionality of their High Streets. The program recognises the importance of streets as public spaces in strategic centres to support community and economic recovery.

The YHS program will see Council improve the amenity and functionality of High Street, Central Maitland between Grant Street and the Ken Tubman Drive roundabout through a series of engaging and high impact permanent interventions that build upon the unique mix of businesses in the precinct and support a burgeoning night time economy.
