The City's new civic plaza, Tulmur Place was officially opened on 28 November 2020. The opening began with a performance by the Gateebil Gurrnung Aboriginal Corporation's Yugara Traditional Dancers.

The event was a celebration of the opening of Stage 2 of the Nicholas Street Precinct redevelopment. The plaza provides a space for the community with staging, shady area, new artworks and a water play zone.
