What we do

Activation and marketing

CMM organise regular events and festivals within the Valley Malls to help promote the precinct, generate additional customer traffic and enhance economic outcomes for local businesses.

Busking

Busking in Brunswick Street Mall or Chinatown Mall adds to the vibrant atmosphere of the Valley precinct. Buskers will need to apply for a licence to perform in the Valley Malls. The licence is free, however buskers need to submit an application and attend an audition.

Outdoor dining

Council supports outdoor dining within the Valley Malls, as it promotes increased social and cultural life, and contributes to the precinct’s identity, animation and security. Businesses abutting the Valley Malls are encouraged to undertake outdoor dining. CMM can help you apply for an outdoor dining permit.

Mall traffic permits

For safety reasons, businesses need to apply to CMM for a mall traffic permit before entering Brunswick Street Mall or Chinatown Mall with a car, truck or other vehicle.

Hoarding and scaffolding

If building improvement work is likely to extend into the Valley Malls, businesses need to apply to CMM for a hoarding and scaffolding permit. This ensures the safety of mall patrons and businesses.

Peaceful assembly

Members of the public can provide to CMM a public notification of intent to hold a peaceful assembly in the mall. Any peaceful assembly should comply with the Peaceful Assembly Act 1992.

Customer Liaison Officers and Local Laws

CMM Customer Liaison Officers (CLOs) actively engage with visitors and businesses within the Valley Malls to provide advice and manage issues, needs and concerns.

CLOs ensure the Valley Malls are maintained to a high standard in terms of safety, cleanliness, landscaping and maintenance. They also ensure appropriate actions are taken relating to the enforcement of ordinances, legislation and local laws under the City of Brisbane Act 2010 and City of Brisbane Regulation 2012.

CitySafe

The CitySafe closed circuit television (CCTV) system provides high-quality surveillance within the Valley Malls and outer perimeters to provide a safe environment for patrons. CitySafe aims to reduce crime by deterring potential offenders and helping the police and CMM apply fast and effective responses to incidents and emergency situations.
