Advice
The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.
Background
A food and beverage business located at the eastern corner
of Fitzroy and Farnell Streets; Surry Hills has applied for an outdoor dining
area on Farnell Street as part of the Alfresco night-time business program
supported by the NSW government.
The width of the footpath on Fitzroy Street in front of the
restaurant is unable to safely accommodate both footpath dining and pedestrian
access. Given that Farnell Street has no footpaths, the business is also not
eligible for footway dining on Farnell Street. As such, the business has
requested consideration to utilise Farnell Street provide outdoor seating
opportunities, improve pedestrian access, and activate the area.
