The NSW Productivity Commissioner has been requested by the Minister for the Arts, Music and the Night-time Economy to investigate the regulatory barriers impeding NSW’s night-time economy, quantify their productivity and wider economic impacts, and to provide prioritised recommendations to the NSW Government to address these barriers.
The Review will consider work and consultation already undertaken by NSW Government departments as part of the Vibrancy Reforms. The Commissioner may undertake further, targeted consultations with stakeholders as part of the Review, with a final report provided to the Minister for the Arts, Music and the Night-time Economy by end-August 2025.
