The Newtown Enmore Business Community (NEBC), in regular consultation with Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW), has successfully developed a simplified, "plain English" guide to help licensed venues on Enmore Road access the extended trading hours now permitted under the Special Entertainment Precinct (SEP) status.

At our AGM on November 17, a year of successful growth and strong financial health, having secured $355,000 in grants. The new strategic vision focuses on creating a 24/7 Unified Precinct, pivoting away from the day/night divide to foster cross-pollination—encouraging night-time visitors to return for daytime retail. A new committee was elected, including President James Thorpe and new Executives Dylan Howarth, David Yates and Farhan Saeed, who join the committee in prioritising the stability of daytime retail and launching talk series for cross-sector learning.
