 In common with Australian capital cities generally, especially Melbourne and Sydney, there has been remarkable growth in the CBD in the last 10 years to 2017.Residential units, population, jobs and visitation have all increased markedly, changing the city centre from a primarily business or work oriented hub, to a mixed business and residential district.Prior to the 2010s, Australian CBD's were generally places workers would commute to from the suburbs and served little purpose beyond employment and shopping opportunity.
