Uptown magazine, issue 11 is out in the world!

  Uptown Business+AssociationOctober 16, 2025

Issue 11 of the Uptown Magazine is out now!



In Issue 11, we dive into everything that makes our precinct hum — from biking adventures (both indoor and outdoor) to a local Christmas gift guide full of ideas from Uptown retailers. We also take a look at how businesses are showing resilience in a tough economy, with insights from our recent panel discussion.


Discover new gems in the neighbourhood, including vintage treasure trove Pretty Suss, mid-century design haven Good Form, and creative hobby store Meta Life.


Pick up your copy from cafes, stores, and venues around Uptown, or check out the digital edition to read and share your favourite stories online.
