The City of Sydney, as it grows, aims to support an active and diverse evening culture and economy. To support this aspiration, The City of Sydney produced a discussion paper outlining plans for the future of Sydney’s nighttime economy. They proposed three actions: to allow businesses to trade later without obtaining an approval, to simplify the process for artists to open creative spaces, and to balance the impacts of live music and performance venues.
In June 2019, the City of Sydney ran the ‘Shaping Sydney 2050’ workshop, to solicit ideas from stakeholders about what they wanted the future of Sydney to look like. This event drew 283 stakeholders from a variety of community sectors including: cultural; economic; environmental; governance; planning; public domain; social; and, transport.
