00:00For four generations, Michele Rispoli's family has lived and breathed hospitality.
00:09A labour of love on Leichhardt's Norton Street.
00:13But in the years he's been here, he's seen the once thriving late night strip fade.
00:18It's not what it used to be.
00:20It's still much quieter than what it was before.
00:23Night time especially.
00:25That's something the state's Productivity Commissioner wants to change,
00:29handing down a report on how to boost Sydney's night time economy.
00:33The role of a vibrant night time economy can't be understated.
00:37The report makes 55 recommendations mostly focused on cutting red tape,
00:42like streamlining the liquor licensing and planning application process.
00:47It also estimates waits of up to six weeks for separate approvals
00:51could be costing businesses more than $120 million in sales.
00:56It recommends making public transport more predictable, accessible and frequent.
01:02The potential gain to New South Wales is $8.2 billion annually.
01:07And to me, that's a prize worth pursuing.
01:10The report's really welcome news for industry.
01:12It gives a clear blueprint of what we need to do.
01:15This report doesn't just quantify the economic potential of improving Sydney's nightlife,
01:21but it also highlights the social costs of failing to do so.
01:25That cost is being felt in precincts like Little Italy, which was once a bustling cultural hub.
01:31I think Little Italy, we have to find a way to bring that name up there again.
01:36Serving that hope to customers and businesses alike.
01:40One year after a few months away, I think it'sauf

01:46I identified as an active NOAA set at CARA przeciwson and Niche that seems to have left

01:52You could see that manyaven ran in Michigan,
01:55They were understated by the local market and people wouldn't leave
01:57that year.
01:59It's also the first part of the world around the world around the world around a country
02:00while when people came to buy a çekichthyba and thenvé is cocaine.
02:01Most people can be seen as both ind��endo and those non-anch reactions
02:03and ones are playing the right.
02:04The house is 51% of the country that can cause the faith
02:06to live and that knowing the truth came to them.
