Eligible venues can operate until midnight on these 3 Sundays as part of the NSW Government\u2019s year-round trading extensions for special events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the extensions, venues can open their doors longer for special cultural and sporting events, helping to boost local night-time economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, hotels can now also apply to trade until midnight on Sundays permanently under the NSW Government\u2019s Vibrancy Reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an added boost, Special Event Extended Trading allows venues to keep their doors open until midnight on Sundays regardless of whether they have applied for a permanent extension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the year progresses, the NSW Government expects to list additional special events, further enriching NSW\u2019s nightlife and cultural offerings across the region<\/p>\n\n\n\n
