Council is a strong and vocal advocate for a Greater Sydney approach to the night time economy to support good planning, design and greater investment in the sector.
Council has made numerous submissions to the NSW Government to show our support for the night time economy and to advocate on behalf of our community for greater collaboration and leadership to deliver better outcomes for our city at night.
