Outdoor dining key to Martin Place makeover

Outdoor dining key to Martin Place makeover
Michael CrawfordSeptember 16, 2015

New development plans for Martin Place include outdoor dining between Sydney's Pitt and George Streets near the World War One memorial the Cenotaph.

The City is looking for public comment on the new draft policies which include a City North public domain plan that outlines new works to enliven Martin Place and streets running into Alfred Street at Circular Quay in preparation for light rail, and outdoor dining policies to cut red tape and make it easier to introduce outdoor dining by simplifying applications and extending licence periods to help create a more vibrant and active City.

Under the proposed plan, restaurants can seek permits for outdoor tables well away from the Cenotaph.

Proposed changes also include upgrades to Alfred Street, Loftus Street, Reiby Place, Young Street and Phillip Street.
