The New South Wales government has unveiled a bold initiative that it says 'will help further position Sydney as a global night-life destination'.
The New South Wales government will trial the Purple Flag program, an initiative that helps partygoers identify precincts with a safe, well-managed night scene.
The pilot is the latest effort from the government to bolster Sydney's 24-hour economy as the city's nightlife recovers from years of lockout laws and COVID-19 restrictions. "The accreditation will allow people to easily identify precincts that have met high standards of safety, vibrancy, and diversity of entertainment and activities," he said.
"We have so many great night-time districts in Sydney and Purple Flag will promote many of the fantastic things they offer," he said.
