The controversial Sydney CBD lockout laws will be among the subjects of another mass protest under the banner of Reclaim The Streets next month.
The licensing and opening restrictions were forced upon venues across Sydney’s late-night areas by the New South Wales Government last year, and have widely been blamed for the decline of nightlife and live music on the city’s scene since, in addition to a number of venue closures.
Reclaim The Streets, which last rallied in September, says on its Facebook event that the event is a demonstration about “who decides what a livable city is”.
“It’s not fair to be locked out of your city by excessive rents and curfews. The city is not just an investment portfolio for the super rich, it’s our home too,” the post says.
“Don’t let property developers, bankers and toll operators buy that right away from you.”
Reclaim The Streets departs from Camperdown Memorial Rest Park at 2pm on Saturday December 12. For more info, check out the Facebook event page.
