​​

        The purpose of the Three Saints Square Project is to bring together businesses, residents and institutions in this central 

        section of Oxford Street, to address issues that are of common interest to improve that precinct on Oxford Street and to 

        facilitate resolution of issues with the relevant authorities.

        The 3SS Project collaborates with other Oxford Street networks to facilitate the goal to improve Oxford Street

         “from park to park” i.e. from Hyde Park to Centennial Park. Click here to learn more about the 3SS project
