4 UNLOCKING THE NIGHT-TIME ECONOMY
As businesses and organisations continue to explore new ways to grow and innovate, the night-time economy (NTE) has emerged as an important area of opportunity. The NTE encompasses economic activity that takes place in the evening hours and has proven to be a significant contributor to the growth and vibrancy of a city.
In Australia, the NTE covers a wide range of activities in town and city centers that take place between the hours of 6 pm to 6 am, including retail, culture & leisure, transport, and accommodation, as well as activities that support these sectors, such as security and supply chains.
One of the most significant benefits of the NTE is that it adds vibrancy and atmosphere to an area. This is especially important for local businesses, as it can attract new customers and increase sales. The NTE also creates social cohesion and inclusion, providing a space for people to gather and connect.
In addition, the NTE nurtures the artistic and creative industries. By supporting these industries, cities can attract and retain talented individuals who, in turn, help drive innovation and economic growth. This can also help differentiate Canterbury Bankstown as a unique and culturally rich destination, attracting tourists and visitors to the area.
By promoting and supporting the NTE, Canterbury Bankstown can leverage these benefits and create new opportunities for growth and development. This includes developing new events and activities to attract visitors, supporting local businesses that operate during evening hours, and investing in infrastructure and transportation to support the NTE.
In conclusion, the night-time economy is a critical component of a thriving city, and Canterbury Bankstown has the potential to capitalize on this opportunity. By embracing and supporting the NTE, we can create a vibrant and dynamic community that attracts visitors, supports local businesses, and fosters innovation and growth.
Let's make it happen.

Later, she became one of the few female CEOs in Australian Print & Packaging Manufacturing, scaling the business from the brink of administration to becoming an industry leader. Her focus on a niche market brought over a million dollars worth of work back to Australia from China.

A hotel, shops and conference centre to cater to the needs of a growing region are included in newly unveiled plans for a Business Precinct at the gateway to Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport.
Stage one of the development is expected to generate 400 jobs through construction with another 2000 permanent jobs once the business precinct is fully occupied and operational.
WSI CEO Simon Hickey said the precinct is designed to initially service the region’s steadily growing construction workforce and would evolve as the airport and its surroundings develop over time
“While the airport and the connections to it are being built, there are thousands of workers across the runway, terminal, civil works, metro and M12 construction sites and they will be the first to use this precinct which will adapt to meet the needs of airport customers,” Mr Hickey said
“Once the airport becomes operational in 2026, the precinct will welcome flight crews and international passengers, but we are leading the way by meeting the demand for shops, accommodation and offices, which is increasing as momentum builds.”
The 20-hectare site is designed to include a ten storey, 150 room hotel, gym, café and conference facility and around 25,000 square metres of warehouse and office space. The initial construction phase includes internal roads and connections to arterial roads.
“Western Sydney International Airport is shaping up as a destination in its own right and we are making sure that we cater to local demand during the construction phase and as we grow to ultimately become Sydney’s biggest airport, “The vision for Western Sydney International is to maximise the economic uplift of the new airport by bringing business and commercial development alongside international and domestic passenger flights and cargo services in a vibrant, diverse and growing region.”
The Western Sydney Airport Business Precinct Stage One Major Development Plan is on public display until 13 July, 2023 in the airport’s Experience Centre, Penrith City Council Library, Liverpool City Council Library and online.
Western Sydney International is on track to open to international, domestic and air cargo services in late 2026.
