Parramatta will become a city that never sleeps if the council passes new rules that would allow more businesses to operate around the clock
.
“Back in the ’90s and early 2000s, Parramatta was a bustling city peppered with clubs and restaurants, but over the years, a lot of them have closed down,” he said. “The more businesses that open up in Parramatta and trade longer, the more it will attract other businesses.” But Magee said it was important to have a sensible approach to regulation that accounted both for the need to foster nightlife and limit noise, particularly in residential areas.
“When the economy changes and works longer hours, it allows more job opportunities for people as well,” he said. “Extending the night-time economy allows for more flexibility in work.” “People want that ability to jump in the lift, go downstairs and have a great experience whether that’s going to their public library, meeting with their friends to play pool or grabbing a coffee,” she said.
