Have your say – Canley Heights and Canley Vale Special Entertainment Precincts

Council invites you to have your say on the draft Planning Proposal (Proposal) for the Canley Heights and Canley Vale Special Entertainment Precincts (SEPs).

What are SEPs?

 The SEPs are part of Council’s and the State government initiative to revive the night-time economy while also aiming to generate further local tourism.  It is the first step in activating the City’s night-time economy by utilising planning systems to provide greater flexibility around late-night trading in SEP areas. 

The Canley Heights and Canley Vale SEPs are proposing to:

  • Allow an extended 1-hour trading,
  • An additional 2-hours on nights where live-entertainment is provided, without the need of an approval,
  • Late trading permitted to no later than 4am, and
  • Extended trading to approved outdoor dining until 11pm.

Planning Proposal

On 13 May 2025, Council resolved to submit the draft Proposal to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) to establish SEP areas in the Canley Heights and Canley Vale town centres.

A Gateway Determination has been now issued to proceed with the Proposal, with the condition for Council to publicly exhibit the proposal and consult with relevant stakeholders. 

The Proposal seeks to amend the Fairfield Local Environmental Plan 2013 to include areas within Canley Heights and Canley Vale to be identified as Special Entertainment Precincts.

The identified SEPs will activate the proposed extended trading hours through the supporting draft Precinct Management Plan and draft development controls for businesses to adhere to when dealing with sound from entertainment.
