South Bank's Diversity

South Bank will be a natural meeting place with diverse activities, an exciting place to live, work, eat and play (South Bank Corporation's Vision).

South Bank is diverse, and different to other inner-city precincts in Australia. It has:

• a large cluster of major arts facilities located on the river
• an urban village featuring an active street life
• an environment where cycling, walking, running, rollerblading, canoeing, rowing and sailing are regular pursuits
• a lush, subtropical landscape with shady footpaths and boulevards for the public
• a higher proportion of tertiary student enrolments within a five kilometre radius of the central business district
• a higher proportion of young families, often recent immigrants, for whom the multicultural history of the area, as well as the schools, parks and public transport facilities are appealing
• close proximity and easy access to the central business district

Above all, South Bank's successful evolution as an exciting place to live, work, eat and play has been achieved due to the Corporation's continued focus on defining, meeting and surpassing community needs and expectations.
