Step into the heritage end of Jackson Street. Take in the colonial style buildings that echo a bygone era.
Here you’ll find an eclectic range of thoroughly modern businesses – specialty shops and fashion boutiques, cafés, bars, restaurants, movie theatres, plus professional and commercial services. Walk further to the west end of the street and you’ll find large format retailers offering big brands at keen prices. Jackson Street – the complete shopping, entertainment and food destination, where there’s always something special.
