ish. Artist Jasmine Sarin has created a national artwork piece titled Nura, which will be displayed on digital screens, websites and social channels in offices and shopping centres across the country.   “The message of Heal Country is such an important one, and there is no better way to celebrate the message with all of our communities than through art,” Mirvac’s general manager of retail, Kelly Miller, said. “With last-minute cancellations for many events, we still wanted to create a program of inclusive activities for everyone to get involved, so we’ve quickly turned our focus to supporting artists through pop-up art galleries, digital displays and an online colouring activity for kids. In line with our new Reconciliation Action Plan, these activities also bring to life our goal of creating spaces for connection.” Broadway Sydney is collaborating with the gallery on a two-week pop-up shop that will feature a range of Aboriginal fashion, jewellery, art and ceramic pieces.

We’ll be hosting a powerhouse program of masterclasses from makeup artists and beauty brands that our shoppers adore and use every day — and what’s more, we are bringing a much-anticipated event series back into the centre”, Cristina Persico, centre manager of Highpoint Shopping Centre, said.  Chantelle Baker, Sophia Pafitis, Marielou Makeup and Daniel Tan are among the experts recruited to run classes alongside brands such as Bangn Body, Dior, Foreo and L’Occitane. Myer Melbourne attracts biggest CBD sale in 13 years Myer’s Melbourne store is at the heart of the biggest local CBD retail transaction in 13 years and the largest one in 2021. Charter Hall and Abacus Property Group have bought up a majority interest in the 5680-square-metre site (66 per cent), with the remaining third to continue to be held by Vicinity Centres, in a deal organised by Colliers and JLL. “Myer Melbourne represented one of the best CBD retail offerings in Australian history,” said Colliers’ head of retail investment services Lachlan MacGillivray. “While Myer Melbourne represents a highly successful business and the strongest single performing department store in Australia, it also represents a significant opportunity for positive rental reversion through mixed-use conversion in an irreplaceable location.” The store has a weighted average lease expiry of 10.5 years and is 100 per cent leased to Myer. The department store saw sales fall 13.1 per cent year on year at $1.4 million in the first half, while comparable sales fell 3.1 per cent. Myer attributed these results to forced store closures and reduced foot traffic, particularly in the CBDs, and, excluding the retailer’s six CBD stores, comparable sales were up 6.3 per cent year on year.
