Mainstreet Australia: the national voice for main streets, high streets and town centres
){kind=logo}
)
Mainstreet Australia is the peak body supporting the businesses, associations and stakeholders who make these precincts thrive by advocating to government, providing professional development, and fostering connections within our community.
As a membership-based association, we offer access to resources, networking opportunities, industry discounts, and expert guidance. For 30 years, we’ve championed best practice and knowledge-sharing to help main streets reach their full potential.
Main streets are more than shopping destinations – they’re the social and economic heart of Australian communities. They’re where small businesses create jobs, where neighbours connect, where local character thrives, and where the vibrancy of our towns and suburbs is most visible.
At Mainstreet Australia, we believe these places deserve dedicated support, strategic investment, and a strong collective voice. That’s why we continue to connect practitioners, advocate for policy change, share knowledge, and champion the people doing the vital work of keeping our main streets vibrant and resilient.
As we look to the future, our commitment remains unchanged: to ensure that main streets across Australia continue to adapt, evolve, and remain central to the economic and social fabric of our communities for generations to come.
We support Australia's main streets, precincts and town centres through a comprehensive range of initiatives:
Research & Advocacy: Commissioning independent research and actively lobbying governments for greater support and sustainable funding models for main street programs.
Networking & Professional Development: Hosting opportunities for connection and growth through Night Shift Sessions, workshops, and networking events tailored for main street managers, marketers, and economic development professionals.
Conferences & Resources: Facilitating National Conferences and Centre Manager Summits, while providing a robust library of resources to assist practitioners with planning, management, and activation strategies.
Recognition: Celebrating excellence through the Meet the Main Street Manager case study series and the Mainstreet Australia Awards, which have recognised over 100 outstanding achievements in main street revitalisation since 2009.
Governance & Support: Offering guidance on organisational governance, advocacy, and operational effectiveness to ensure main street organisations can navigate challenges and seize opportunities.
