Business Sydney says today marks a new beginning for building the city’s CBD back better as we come out of lockdown and bring workers and visitors back to the empty city streets in a significant reactivation of the economy.
“Sydney’s CBD was the beating heart of the state’s economy and we need to restart it with a strong return to offices, hospitality, arts and cultural venues to bring the city back to its vibrant best and show the world that Sydney is the pre-eminent city in our region to work, visit and play,” said Paul Nicolaou, Executive Director of Business Sydney.
“State and local government need to support and work with business to generate economic growth and employment in Sydney’s CBD in order to capitalise on the opportunity we now have through our hard work in leading the nation in vaccination and reopening.”
“Federal and State governments are working to open borders to international visitors as early as next month and we need the city to be pumping again to attract tourists and international workers to our great global city.”
This ten-point plan can help deliver Sydney’s economic recovery:
“This is also a great opportunity to create a 24-hour economy in our city that drives the hospitality and tourism sectors, something other global cities like London and New York, have been doing for years,” says Mr.Nicolaou.
