ALL FORMS OF SPORT INCLUDING SENIORS MASTERS COMPETITION, CULTURAL SUCH AS W.S.O. LIVE THEATRE, ART SHOWS,JAZZ CONCERTS,
EDUCATIONAL FOR ALL AGES,STREET THEATRE, STREET FOOD STALLS,
& THERE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR COFFEE LOUNGES & CAFES TO STAY OPEN LATE TO GET MORE ACTIVITY IN CHATSWOOD CENTRE IN THE EVENINGS.

I agree with the general thrust of this comment. Music styles should be as wide as possible, to appeal to all ages and tastes.
The cafe comment is very important, Chatswood is still very poorly served when compared to other areas, for instance Crows Nest, so there is little sense of community in the evening.

perhaps there could be a Chatswood street show. I saw one staged in Surry Hills called Intersection where performers move from one intersection to another. That could involve the cafe crowd.

The presence of a singular, multi-discipline art hub would be of great benefit to Willoughby community. This venue would offer a program that showcases the work of artists/entertainers from local, national and international areas who work in disciplines ranging from visual arts, crafts, theatre and music, to dance and opera/musicals. A venue such as this would contribute enormously to our sense of community. It would inject pride about our cultural strength, create a space for people from different suburbs to gather and share experiences and upend our (often) current sense of having to "go off-shore" for serious cultural experiences.
If this more…
