City of Sydney transforms village high streets with a series of special events

The City of Sydney is transforming village high streets into spaces for walking, shopping and dining with a series of special events during October and November 2022.

‘Sydney Streets’ returns from 1st October 2022 for street closures across seven locations. Council’s aim is to celebrate local neighbourhoods, bring communities together and support high street businesses.

For local businesses, it’s an opportunity to produce in-store activations to help attract customers and patrons to their venues, and potentially extend trading to outdoors subject to availability and approval.

Along with enabling road closures, Council will provide some acoustic roving entertainment, outdoor furniture around the street and portable toilets.

Sydney Streets is part of Council’s community recovery plan, supporting the economic and social recovery of businesses and local communities impacted by the pandemic.
