Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

In early 2022, the City introduced a series of Sydney Summer Streets events closing several high streets to support communities during the pandemic. The initiative was an opportunity for local businesses to extend their trade onto footpaths and outdoor settings. Following the success of the Sydney Summer Streets events, the City now plans to hold similar Sydney Streets events throughout the year to support communities and local businesses. 

The City has applied for the temporary road closures in Haymarket for the Sydney Streets 2023 on Saturday, 30 September 2023 from 9am to 11.30pm.
