An interesting article from 2014 details the plans/ideas for Civic Square. We can see that some of these plans went ahead and others didn't.
"Civic Square: Revamp the public space costing $10m to cover as many of the following projects as possible in the next 10 years
- Possible public use of the ground floor of the Civic Administration Building
- Possible creation of bar/cafe space and retail space on the ground floor of the Municipal Office Building
- A partially enclosed Cuba Lane between the Town Hall and the Michael Fowler Centre
- Upgraded space between the Central Library and City Gallery
- New Harris St entrance to the City Gallery
- Reconfigure the courtyard bounded by Harris St, the library and the City Gallery."
