Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

In October 2021, the City and NSW Government entered into a joint partnership to revitalise the city centre, establishing a $20 million CBD Revitalisation Fund to boost the local economy and invite the public back to the city. The City and NSW government will continue this work by extending the outdoor dining program across the local government area until end June 2022.

One of the initiatives in this partnership is the rapid roll-out of temporary outdoor dining areas by reallocating parking. Outdoor dining would increase dining capacities for businesses while maintaining physical distancing.
