Supporting Information.
At the Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner we work with other government partners, local councils, industry and the community to build vibrant, diverse, inclusive and safe hospitality and entertainment precincts.
We seek to enhance both the economic output of the state and amenity for residents and tourists alike.
We aim to do this by improving the conditions for flexible day and night trading. In so doing the Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner makes a positive contribution to the desirability of NSW as the best global location to live, work, play and invest.
We seek to integrate planning and placemaking, diversify night-time activities, promote industry and cultural development, improve safety, mobility and connectivity and change the narrative around CBDs across Greater Sydney.
