Background

In October 2020, the City and NSW Government entered a partnership to revitalise the city centre, establishing a $20 million CBD Revitalisation Fund to boost the local economy and invite the public safely back to the city. In March 2023 Council resolved to extend the temporary use of road space for outdoor dining to 31 December 2024 and explored the feasibility of making some sites permanent. City staff continue to work with NSW government to support extension of the program
