The Permit/Plug/Play Pilot Program is a partnership grant program with the NSW Government and their Vibrant Streets Package. The investment is designed to transform streets into thriving local places to support the community, businesses and the creative sector.

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

This consultation will identify the community impact some street based event locations may have in the Waverley LGA.

• Improve council process efficiency and communication about temporary road closures and the street-based events that they enable
• Reduce the cost of delivering street-based events and temporary road closures for event proponents
• Focus investment on strategic locations for maximum impact
• Support collaborative engagement and funding; and
• Deliver enhanced cultural, economic, and social benefits through street-based events.
• Councils is seeking to streamline processes and reduce costs of delivering street-based events.

The proposed locations of Spring Street, Bondi Junction; Gould Street, Bondi; and Bronte Road, Waverley have been identified by Waverley Council as vibrant, accessible spaces that are well-suited for events designed to bring people together, celebrate local culture, and stimulate economic growth.

By selecting these streets, Council aims to create welcoming environments where residents and visitors can gather, enjoy diverse experiences, and engage with local businesses.
