Get Involved: City of Sydney Late Night Trading Research Project

To help develop ways to assess and respond to impacts of alcohol, the Council initiated its Late Night Trading Research Project.

The project comprises two separate studies:

• The Late Night Trading: Community Perceptions research - commissioned to develop a broader understanding of both the positive and negative perceptions of residents towards their locality in general and night trading premises specifically, and
• Research undertaken by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) into the cumulative impact of night trading premises in defined areas of the Local Government Area

The studies are currently on exhibition and submissions are invited until Friday 31st July 2009.

Council will use the studies and input from submissions received to further develop proposals to address alcohol-related crime and anti-social behaviour, and to protect the amenity of residents.

Written submissions should be addressed to either:
