Cronulla Special Entertainment Precinct
Cronulla’s night-time scene is getting a shake-up this September. From September 4th, the town centre will become NSW’s first beachside Special Entertainment Precinct as part of a 12-month trial led by Sutherland Shire Council. The aim is to make it easier for local venues to trade later and host more live music, dining and entertainment. Indoor venues can trade until midnight on weekdays and as late as 2:00am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, while outdoor areas can stay open until 11:00pm. In short? More scope for Cronulla to come alive after dark, with the trial set to shape what the suburb’s night-time scene could look like long term.
