A strategy to unlock Sydney\u2019s cultural and economic potential will be championed by Chair of the Night-Time Industries Association Michael Rodrigues who has been appointed as the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner.
\nMinister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said Mr Rodrigues would bring the 24-Hour Economy strategy to life to make Sydney the best place to live, work and play that it can possibly be.
\n\u201cOur tourism, hospitality and arts sectors have been hit hard by the pandemic, but now we have the opportunity to bring Sydney back better than ever,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\n\u201cThe Strategy includes a 24-hour Economy Acceleration Program, through which the Government will work with councils and industry to identify and activate unique and thriving economic hubs across Sydney,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\n\u201cIt will result in a network of activated 24-hour economy hubs across Sydney \u2013 each offering a distinct experience, and well connected by efficient transport options.
\n\u201cThis \u2018Neon Grid\u2019 of hubs across the city will represent Sydney\u2019s diverse and vibrant night economy and we will collaborate with industry and councils to bring it to life, connecting consumers, creatives and entrepreneurs.
\n\u201cMichael Rodrigues as the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner will spearhead the strategy and bring State and Local Governments and industry together to create safe and vibrant opportunities for people to enjoy the greatest city in the world.\u201d
\nMr Rodrigues said he was looking forward to getting down to business.
\n\u201cI\u2019m excited about the upcoming opportunities and to champion the 24-Hour Economy strategy as we deliver a nightlife that\u2019ll sit alongside New York, London and Tokyo,\u201d Mr Rodrigues said.
\n“As our city rebuilds from the COVID-19 pandemic, the 24-hour economy strategy is central to NSW’s economic and social recovery. So many industries have had a really tough 12 months, but we are seeing the green shoots of recovery across Sydney and NSW.\u201d
\nThe strategy will focus on driving investment while turbocharging job creation and night time business activity in the CBD and throughout Greater Sydney, by:<\/p>\n
