According to my father who looks down on DH apart from last and spends all his time there (due to travel restrictions OS) Apart from Thursdays fireworks CBD is dead and has been since March last year.

Hence pressure from industries to also reopen international borders. International students at CBD campuses alone would make a bit of difference to accommodation, leisure, eateries and some small retails.
