#COVID19 impacts businesses of every size within the City, which is why we are carefully considering a range of options to support our co妹妹unity.
This evening we signed off on the first stage of our Business, Arts and Creative Support package, with $25 million worth of measures to support businesses and reduce the financial impact of COVID-19.
We will provide rent relief for our tenants who need it. We will refund venue and advertising fees for any organisation that made a booking with us, but has now cancelled their event.
We have co妹妹itted to covering staff and operational costs for all our aquatic centres for the next two weeks – this will help them continue to pay their staff during this period and maintain business continuity in the long term.
We are waiving outdoor dining fees, and if restaurants, cafes and bars have space to put chairs and tables outside to maintain their service, we encourage them to do so. We will not charge them for use of the footpath, or fine them for not having a permit. We will continue to complete our necessary health and safety inspections, but we will not charge the regular fee.
We have also directed our rangers to use discretion and only issue parking fines or other penalties if there is an i妹妹inent public or environmental health or safety risk.
The situation is changing daily. No one knows how long this crisis will last. This is the first of our financial support measures and we are now working on a second stage of our support package, targeting those in the creative, arts and entertainment industries and developing a small business quick response grants program.
This is an unprecedented health emergency. We stand ready to support our residents, businesses, cultural and vulnerable co妹妹unities through this challenging time.
