What is Picton ALIVE?
HEARTBEAT LIFE SPIRIT
Picton ALIVE aims to turn Argyle Street into a buzzing hub of dining, entertainment, and social experiences. Our focus is on supporting hospitality businesses and other main street establishments by coordinating joint theme promotions, developing marketing materials, and seizing opportunities with the new Performing Arts Centre.
​
The goal? To attract more visitors, boost our local economy, and create a dynamic nightlife scene for locals and tourists alike.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to revitalise Picton's nightlife by supporting local businesses with targeted marketing efforts, enabling them to offer regular night time dining and entertainment experiences for the residents and visitors of the Wollondilly Shire.
​
OUR VISION
Our vision is to cultivate a unique and vibrant identity for Picton's nightlife, nurturing a sense of place that reflects the values, cultures, and aspirations of our local business community and residents. By creating a sense of pride and ownership, we aim to attract visitors from neighbouring areas, thereby boosting our local economy.
The Wollondilly Business Chamber serves as a driving force behind the business community in Wollondilly, creating an inclusive and collaborative environment where local businesses thrive and regional prosperity is cultivated. With a strong commitment to amplifying the voice of local businesses, the Chamber supports and promotes its members, encouraging a flourishing business landscape that ultimately enhances the economic vitality of the entire community.
​
For the Picton ALIVE initiative, the Chamber's mission and objectives align perfectly with reactivating and invigorating nightlife in Picton. By connecting businesses and encouraging collaboration, they lay the groundwork for a vibrant social scene that not only supports local commerce but also attracts visitors. Through enthusiastic advocacy and keeping members informed on shifts in the economic landscape, the Chamber empowers businesses to adapt, innovate, and engage the community in fresh, exciting ways. Their legacy-focused approach ensures that these efforts not only bring energy to Picton's nightlife today but also contribute lasting benefits to the community.​​
We are absolutely thrilled to see Picton ALIVE up and running!

This exciting initiative will enable us to create a unique nightlife experience in Picton, promoting our local businesses and attracting visitor spend in our community.
