The best cities in the world are safe AND fun. Jo Haylen, Member for Summer Hill, and Darcy Byrne, former Mayor of Leichhardt, today welcomed NSW Labor's plan to save live music in Sydney. 

Jo Haylen, Member for Summer Hill, welcomed news that the Inner West Council has moved to support the transformation of the Sydenham Station Precinct into a creative hub.

I recently joined Labor Loves Live Music to march with the 4,000-strong crowd through the streets of Sydney in support of our nightlife.

Mike Baird’s nice-ification of Sydney is threatening our claim as Australia’s global city.

The Sydenham Station Creative Hub is an example of planning innovation at its very best—an approach that thinks outside the box to integrate established industrial properties with exciting new businesses, businesses such as Batch Brewing Company.

Food trucks are an essential element in global cities like New York and Toronto and I’m glad we can add Marrickville to that list!

NSW Labor is putting forward the idea of a model code to regulate food trucks making it easier for these entrepreneurial businesses to operate across Sydney.

Jo Haylen, the Member for Summer Hill, today congratulated Marrickville Council on plans for a raised shared zone between Petersham and Marrickville Roads in Marrickville and to close the street once a month during daylight-savings hours to promote night-time dining and entertainment.
