The NSW Labor Party has proposed a “24-hour city” initiative for Sydney.

They would allow select venues to operate all day to reignite the night life.

It’s vision is to stimulate the local economy, enhance global appeal and have train services more available at night.

There’s been residents opposing the implementation, police citing noise concerns and recent industrial train strikes pushing for fairer terms.
