designed to stimulate the pandemic-ravaged NSW economy will have its pilot program fast-tracked to include the ailing northern beaches.
Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello , enjoys a drink with NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet and Minister for Planning and Pubic Spaces Rob Stokes in The Rocks last year.The trial will begin in February for venues in Sydney's CBD, The Rocks and Broken Hill, as well as the northern beaches; still reeling from the Avalon COVID-19 outbreak that forced them into lockdown during the most important earning period of the year.
Business owners pitched a plan to allow them to requalify for the jobs subsidy program based on dismal December earnings in the wake of the Avalon cluster. Mr Frydenberg said the government continued to provide JobKeeper payments, including to "7000 businesses supporting around 20,000 individuals in the northern beaches in October and November."
David Singer, whose Elanora Heights restaurant Frenchies Brasserie remains locked down in the northern area, said the "three golden weeks to make money" could not be replaced.

LucyCormack Bye bye economy. Hello debt chains
LucyCormack of course it would . How good is a pork barrelling LNP NSW Govt
LucyCormack Rich LNP donors obviously live in NB. The govt was bribed to fast track this program. Lets see if multicultural Berala restaurants are extended the same treatment.
LucyCormack Happy to exchange my voucher for Bitcoin
LucyCormack Waste not, want not
LucyCormack In February? This should be linked to achieving zero community transmission. Ideally it should wait until after getting zero cases for 28 days, and that means NO hotel quarantine leaks either. Setting a date without a criteria is madness.
LucyCormack Hurry up and roll it out then instead of talking crap!
LucyCormack Oh goody the wealthy North Sydney bods get their Chardonnay lobsters lunches. !! It should be for all not rolled out for Glady's neighbors!
LucyCormack Need to do something similar in Victoria
LucyCormack Can you report this properly, 500m of tax payers money waisted on propping up restraints the Government forced to close down
LucyCormack How about kindergarten free whole year for families allowing mother's return to work? Too hard? I know!
LucyCormack Have we learned nothing from the debacle in the UK?
LucyCormack Remember the Liberals attacking Swan/Rudd stimulus..?
LucyCormack Didn’t they do something similar to this in the UK and it was linked to the cause of the new wave of COVID19 in London and now UK? Don’t get me wrong I’m all for supporting restaurant industry.
LucyCormack What about the Coastal & Border communities who have done it tough through fires, floods & covid.
What a silly idea. This led to an explosion in Covid cases in the uk.
LucyCormack No one apart from the Northern Beaches dine there. Give it to more diverse areas where people actually go to
LucyCormack Starts.... so how long before this rolls out to everyone? $100 per adult, about 0.5 to 1 family meal, huge!
