Little Malop Street has become a thriving food destination. In later 2016, we noticed that it was evolving into a food hub. Since then, there has been an increased interest in the area; largely due to the revitalization efforts as part of the Laneway Project.

We’ve been trying to document the major changes in the precinct since 2017.
