AS PART of a four-day ‘Town Booster’ blitz, residents and retailers attended a series of workshops and events last week with the goal to boost the town’s shopping precinct and revitalise surrounding neighbourhoods.

Run by David Engwicht, internationally renowned place-maker, who is considered one of the world’s most innovative thinkers on revitalising town centres, the program held a

hands-on town centre makeover on Friday.

“What if the secret to rejuvenating Mansfield was not some expensive makeover, but a series of micro-interventions that you as residents and a business community can implement immediately?” David suggested.

A reimagined area on the High Street median strip is one such micro-intervention with the space given a six month trial.
