The new initiative will include: 

  • allowing more flexible outdoor dining and seating arrangements

  • establishing outdoor entertainment stages throughout the Sydney CBD

  • enhancing the promotion of cultural institutions and allowing them to extend hours of operation

  • extending retail trading hours

  • providing more flexible public transport options.

Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the government will explore a range of options and will invest in the right projects that support businesses and jobs.

Mr Perrottet said-

Our health response has been strong and that will allow us to have a strong economic response to ensure Sydney is ready for summer
