At its meeting on Tuesday 12 November 2024, Council will receive and note a report regarding this project:

The Planning Proposal to designate six new Special Entertainment Precincts (SEPs) in Balmain, Dulwich Hill, Leichhardt, Rozelle and two areas in Marrickville received Gateway Determination on 13 September 2024 from the Department of Planning Housing and Infrastructure. Consultation with state government authorities has begun and it has been referred to the relevant public authorities who have until 22 November 2024 to provide comments. Council officers will meet to discuss any comments received with the authorities in early December.

Public Engagement is scheduled for February 2025 comprising:

  • Face-to-face pop ups co-located with customer service stalls
  • Letters to affected residents, businesses, and property owners
  • Information about the proposed SEPs and surveys on Council’s Your Say Inner West (YSIW) page
  • Targeted engagement with small businesses and key venues in each precinct
  • The engagement outcomes report is scheduled to be reported to the May 2025 Council meeting.
