'Main Street' is a metonym that describes the main street of a town or suburb. Hence many main streets in various localities around Australia go by the name 'Main Street'. These streets commonly comprise retailers, hair and beauty salons, cafes and restaurants, banks, postal offices, pharmacies, optometrists and other medical service providers.
Tenants of commercial premises on main streets often unite behind a chamber of commerce, which is a non-profit organisation set up to advance their interests in the community.
This web site will soon showcase a number of main streets in Australia.
