We’re building vibrant, diverse, inclusive and safe 24-hour Districts across NSW.

The Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner was established in 2021 to support the growth of 24-hour Districts across New South Wales.
We aim to integrate planning and placemaking, diversify night-time activities, promote industry and cultural development, improve safety, mobility and connectivity.
One key initiative supporting these efforts is the creation of Neon Marketplace - a digital hub for businesses, creatives, artists, and corporate brands within NSW’s 24-hour economy to share opportunities for collaboration and connection.
The platform also enables potential sponsors, partners, and local businesses to connect directly with Districts to co-create events, activations, and place-based initiatives.
To learn more about our programs and how we collaborate with businesses, communities and government, visit 24-hour economy in NSW. You can also sign up for our newsletter to stay updated with the latest news from the Office.
