Available now and ready when you are — there’s no formal closing date for this opportunity.
Special Entertainment Precincts (SEPS) empower councils to designate areas where councils can set trading hours and sound conditions to encourage live performance and support vibrant going-out precincts.
A SEP is established under the Local Government Act 1993 and is an area, streetscape or single venue where sound conditions and trading hours are set by a council in a precinct management plan.
The NSW Special Entertainment Precinct Guidelines identify the mandatory steps to establishing, operating, suspending or revoking a SEP.
