Businesses are calling for The Rocks to be reimagined to draw locals back to its sandstone streets and fill the vacuum of international tourism amid fears the area is suffering an identity crisis | AngusGthompson

Businesses are calling for The Rocks to be reimagined to draw locals back to its sandstone streets and fill the vacuum of international tourism amid fears the area is suffering an identity crisis.

Ms O'Regan said the area — Australia's oldest colonial neighbourhood, preserved through fierce conservation battles — was rich in a built environment that could be repurposed for inventive enterprises."Whether it's an old woolshed, an alleyway, a tunnel or a staircase, these things can, with imagination, have a different use where it's essentially the same infrastructure," she said.

NSW Planning Minister Rob Stokes also last week announced the formation of a public-private committee to advise the management of precincts such as The Rocks and Darling Harbour.Mr Romaniuk, who will be on the committee, said in a statement Place Management NSW had been focused on attracting Sydneysiders to the area well before COVID-19.
