Neighbourhood Plans & Strategies

For local planning purposes, the City of Sydney is divided into 8 zones – we’re at the intersection of 3 of them - CBD, City East and Inner East

The Local Action Plans (LAP) include a list of priority improvement projects across the zones:

The Oxford Street Safety Strategy provides strategies aimed at tackling safety in and around Oxford Street, addressing homophobic violence and abuse, reducing the incidence of alcohol-related antisocial behaviour and violence, strengthening the role of licensed premises in making Oxford Street safer, and improving public amenity for all who live and work in and visit the Oxford Street Precinct.

The Street Drinking Strategy seeks to provide a holistic, consistent and coordinated response to address the impact street drinking can have on individuals and the community. In this Strategy, street drinking refers to drinking in public places by people who may be alcohol dependent, homeless, marginally housed or otherwise socially disadvantaged. Other forms of street drinking such as drinking activity outside licensed premises are not addressed through this strategy.

The Drug and Alcohol Strategy 2007-2010 aims to:

  • Reduce drug and alcohol-related crime and anti-social behaviour.
  • Minimise the negative impacts of drug and alcohol use in the public domain.
  • Reduce negative impacts from licensed premises (especially in areas with high densities).
  • Reduce drug and alcohol related harm amongst priority populations – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, young people, people in the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) communities and people who are homeless.
  • Improve access by the City community to information on drug and alcohol related harms, and how they can respond to these harms.
  • Advocate to other levels of government for enhanced responses to alcohol and drug related impacts (on people and places) where appropriate.
  • Reduce drug and alcohol related accidents and injuries.

Planning Controls
