Around the clock trading will be on the cards for some Parramatta businesses under a plan put forward by council.

The City of Parramatta has released a draft late-night trading development plan, which is on exhibition until the end of next month.

Venues in the commercial core of the city could stay open until 2am, while unlicensed businesses could be open 24 hours a day.

The plan would also allow for shops and grocers in local centres to remain open until midnight.

Business Western Sydney Executive Director David Borger told John Stanley it’s a model seen elsewhere in the world.

“I do think you’ve got to look at the cohort that lives in western Sydney and Parramatta,” he said. “It’s a very, very multicultural place.

“When you go to those cities, Singapore and other places in the world, they are vibrant, they do trade into the night, people do want to be out and about.

“Why shouldn’t we be like that?”
