Permit/Plug/Play Pilot Program
Streets ready-made for events
We're making it easier for community groups and organisations to run events that bring our local streets to life.
As part of a new NSW Government program, three Inner West streets have received pre-approval to hold up to six community events (six per site) or creative activations each year on a Sunday.
This means simpler approvals, ready-to-use event resources and hands-on support for both new and experienced organisers.
What’s included
- Streamlined event approvals
- Pre-approved event management plans
- Pre-approved traffic management plans
- On-site power supply availability
- Opportunity to hire hostile vehicle barriers from Council
Pre‑approved streets
- Hercules Street, Ashfield
- Illawarra Lane and Calvert Street Carpark, Marrickville
- Railway Parade (lower), Marrickville (coming soon following the opening of Sydney Metro's Sydenham to Bankstown extension)
This initiative is part of the NSW Government’s Permit/Plug/Play Pilot Program, which aims to create safe and vibrant spaces for local events and activities.
