Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

Place Management NSW (PMNSW) is partnering with Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA) and the City of Sydney (CoS) to deliver a pilot that will streamline outdoor alcohol licensing requirements for venues. The Rocks hotels and restaurants have been put forward as the initial priority focus to trial new regulations to assist local tenants in The Rocks for extended trading.  An on-site meeting was held 29th September 2020 at The Australian Hotel with TfNSW, CoS, Police Licensing, Avert Risk and PMNSW to discuss this activation and review streamlining similar future activations under the pilot program.

Due to the short timeframes imposed to turn this around by 16th October, following site meetings, PMNSW subsequently submitted an application to the Central Sydney Traffic and Transport Committee (CSTTC), whom endorsed the proposal on 15th October. The areas proposed have been set up, have been running under the terms, have had no impacts on traffic, parking or loading zones and are planned to be in place until 27th April 2021. This date could be extended from 6 - 12month next year if required.

This proposal is for the endorsement by LPCTCC of the existing activities until 27th April 2021 in line with CSTTC.

1.    Location 1: Adjacent to The Glenmore Hotel (eastern side of Cumberland Street, north of Argyle Street).

2.    Location 2: Adjacent to The Australian Hotel (eastern side of Cumberland Street, south of Gloucester Street)

3.    Location 3 is located adjacent to Maybe Sammy at 111 Harrington St (western side of Harrington Street, north of Essex Street)

The requested bays in 1 & 2 locations are 4 x Parking Bays. Location 3 is 3 spaces but HVM is utilising the first space and 2 remaining spaces activated.

(Total of 11 x Bays)
