In 2023, the NSW Government introduced a comprehensive package of reforms through the Office of the 24-Hour Economy with the 24 Hour Economy Legislation Amendment (Vibrancy Reforms) Act 2023.
Most of these reforms commenced on 12 December 2023. However, several of the more complex reforms and those that involved significant systems changes and consultation with stakeholders prior to implementation commenced on 1 July 2024.
The reforms are part of the NSW Government’s Vibrancy Reforms, which aim to encourage the return of music, live performance, local street life and a vibrant night-time economy that doesn’t come at the expense of safety.
The key changes that came into effect from 1st July can be found here.
