Queensland’s long-awaited nightlife report has outlined major recommendations aimed at revitalising Brisbane’s nightlife economy. Under the proposed strategy, shops and supermarkets situated within designated nightlife zones would be permitted to trade continuously for 24 hours, marking a significant shift in local operating hours.[1][2][3]

Beyond round-the-clock retail, the initiative seeks to remove default noise limits across designated entertainment areas.
