Permit/Plug/Play Pilot Program

The Program aims to reduce the cost and complexity of delivering street-based events through an innovative “local problems, local solutions” model. 

The Program is a part of the NSW Government’s Vibrant Streets Package, an over $39 million investment in transforming streets into thriving local places to support the community, businesses and the creative sector. 

The program aims to:

1. Improve council process efficiency and communication about temporary road closures and the street-based events that they enable;
2. Reduce the cost of delivering street-based events and temporary road closures for event proponents;
3. Focus investment on strategic locations for maximum impact;
4. Support collaborative engagement and funding; and
5. Deliver enhanced cultural, economic, and social benefits through street-based events.

Pilot councils have been granted up to $500,000 to identify 3-5 streets in their Local Government Area to streamline processes and reduce costs of delivering street-based events.
