AUTHOR: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT UNIT

SUBJECT: REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2014

This report provides an update of current projects, programs and events of the Community Development Unit

TODD MALL PROMOTIONS OFFICER — MARION ERLICH

1. ALICE SPRINGS TODD MALL TRADERS ASSOCIATION

As Todd Mall Promotions Officer over the last 11 months my main focus was to assist in the establishment of the association with the long term aim of the traders taking responsibility. The Alice Springs Todd Mall Association (not incorporated) was formed in April 2014 following a number of preliminary meetings with stakeholders to clarify the scope and remit of the association. Key principles of the association are:

1. The name of the association is the Alice Springs Todd Mall Association;

2. The association is an unincorporated association at this stage. Any decision to move to an incorporated association in the future would be taken at the appropriate time by the association;

3. The association recognises Council has invested in significant improvements to The Mall. It is now up to the businesses and individuals involved in The Mall to take advantage of the existing infrastructure to build atmosphere and excitement which will attract people to The Mall. This will be done by working closely with Council and stakeholders;

4. Membership of the association is open to all businesses (including landlords) that operate in The Mall or its laneways, from the Todd Tavern in the north to Lone Dingo in the south. Key stakeholders, such as Council and Police are welcomed by the association to participate in this process;

5. The association has appointed Paul Darvodelsky (Alice Springs Cinema) as Chair;

6. The association acknowledges and appreciates that Council has indicated it will provide support to the association in terms of secretarial support for the initial phase of the process;

7. The association is now in the process of consolidating a comprehensive contact list, researching place making initiatives in Australia and overseas and establishing social media. A major brainstorming meeting is scheduled for October 9th for members and stakeholders. Invitations to the brainstorming meeting will be sent out shortly.

As this is my last report to Council I would like to thank everyone at Council who assisted me in my position and hope the ongoing engagement with the association has a fruitful outcome for the Mall and the greater Alice Springs community.
