The running of the association, handled.
A marketing and centre management team as your day-to-day contact — at the committee table, in the council meetings and on the strip. Organised support for volunteer committees and traders, so nothing waits on one person.
What you get.
Agendas, minutes, AGMs and reporting under the Association Rules — the meeting runs, the paperwork is done.
Financial reporting to Council and attendance at monthly meetings, in the format each council asks for.
Trader surveys, workshops and the five-year business plan, taken through Council and the objection period.
An annual plan and budget written with the committee, then managed and delivered line by line.
Every business on the strip onboarded, listed and kept informed — new openings, works, events and opportunities.
Invoicing and record-keeping, insurance and compliance, and the cleaning, graffiti and waste contractors kept to their word.
How it works
Discover, plan, deliver, report. A walk of the strip and an audit in the first month, a twelve-month plan and budget agreed with the committee by the second, then a monthly rhythm of delivery and a clear report at every meeting.
Also for councils and centres
Councils use us for precinct strategic plans, trader liaison and business-support programs during major works. Shopping centres get the same rhythm of planning, delivery and reporting for their centre marketing.
Renewals and plans that went through.
Marmalade Sky managed the day-to-day work of the precinct — member communication and administration through to projects, reporting and Council liaison. They keep things moving and events on track.
RossKensington PrecinctWhen our Special Rate came up for renewal, Marmalade Sky ran the trader surveys, the workshop and the five-year business plan, and took it through Council. It went through with strong support from our traders — and a plan we can actually hold ourselves to.
