About the project

Strathfield Council has secured $500,000 through the NSW Government’s Permit/Plug/Play Program, led by Transport for NSW, to make temporary street events easier and more affordable to organise.

The project aims to simplify event approvals and provide practical improvements at identified locations, helping bring people together and support local businesses.

Project locations

  • Churchill Avenue, Strathfield (adjoining Strathfield Square- gateway to Strathfield Station)
  • Homebush West laneway intersecting Henley Road and adjacent to the public carpark

    Council has identified these locations for the project. Community feedback will help refine the proposed improvements and inform how the spaces could be used for events.

What the project aims to achieve

  • Reduce the time, cost and complexity of organising street events.
  • Support more varied and accessible community events.
  • Encourage people to visit, spend time and support local businesses.
