Inner West Council is considering six new Special Entertainment Precincts (SEPs). This follows the success of the Enmore Road SEP, which has since seen Enmore Road crowned as Sydney’s coolest street and neighbourhood by TimeOut magazine.

The Special Entertainment Precincts are located in:

• Balmain (Darling Street)
• Dulwich Hill (Marrickville Road & New Canterbury Road)
• Leichhardt (Norton Street & Parramatta Road)
• Marrickville North (Victoria & Addison Road)
• Marrickville Town Centre (Railway Parade, Marrickville Road & Illawarra Road)
• Rozelle (Darling Street & Victoria Road)

Details of face-to-face drop in sessions, staff contacts and a feedback form are included on this page.

The provisions of a Special Entertainment Precinct include:

• An additional hour of trading for hospitality venues that host live entertainment
• The ability for all main street businesses to host small-scale artistic and cultural events without the need for a Development Application
• Approval for later outdoor dining until 11pm
• A reduction in the number of government agencies policing Inner West complaints to just one agency
