Background
City of Parramatta Council recognises that late night trading businesses are a crucial part of our economy and contribute many benefits to residents including exposure to local food and beverage cultural activities, live music, social gatherings and events.
The Late Night Trading Development Control Plan will assist in the city’s transition to a 24-hour centre by facilitating a greater mix of things to see, do and explore while meeting the emerging needs of our communities.
The controls aim to facilitate growth and diversification of the night-time economy by balancing night-time vibrancy and reasonable levels of residential amenity, encouraging a broad and inclusive mix of uses throughout the night, and ensuring good venue practices to promote safety and community amenity.
