The streets of NSW will come alive post-lockdown, thanks to a raft of initiatives and $66 million in funding that will see alfresco dining, outdoor activations and events return.
\nTreasurer Matt Kean said as the state opens up to the fully vaccinated, NSW will be ready for people eager to enjoy a meal and a day out with friends and family.
\n\u201cAlfresco dining is not only a great way to dine, it\u2019s a safe way to socialise as we open up. That\u2019s why we are supporting new outdoor entertainment and dining precincts to pop up right across the state through our $66 million Alfresco Restart initiative,\u201d Mr Kean said.
\nMinister for Digital and Customer Service Victor Dominello said the NSW Government is doing all it can to revive the hospitality and entertainment industries, while ensuring people can safely socialise in the sunshine.
\n\u201cAfter a long winter, it\u2019s time for Sydney to enjoy a meal or drink in the sunshine and the NSW Government is committed to helping businesses do that in time for summer,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re providing 5,000 hospitality businesses a $5,000 grant to get their outdoor dining venture off the ground – whether that\u2019s to help set-up curb-side dining or a pub-style courtyard, we\u2019re here to turn their ideas into reality.\u201d
\nMinister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the Government\u2019s Alfresco Restart Package will help the hospitality, arts, and music sectors get back on their feet after a long winter in lockdown.
\n\u201cAfter many months in lockdown, the people of NSW are ready to enjoy themselves, so we\u2019ve thrown out the rule book with new temporary alfresco measures, while also making last year\u2019s trials permanent,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\n\u201cIn addition to the permanent easing of rules for dining on footpaths and public spaces, we\u2019re temporarily allowing outdoor dining on privately-owned bowling greens and carparks, meaning businesses can expand outdoors on almost any piece of land they own to welcome more customers.\u201d
