Canberra night-life survey
Summary
The Canberra night-life survey examined drivers and barriers to greater engagement in Canberra’s night-time scene.
Over 1,800 YourSay Panel members took part in the survey from 19 April to 1 May 2023.
Results from the survey show:
- interest for local areas to have more of a night-time scene
- many people indicate there is not much to do in their local area besides eating and drinking
- a lack of venues open in later hours was the main barrier for people visiting their local area at night.
- parking was viewed as the main barrier to visiting the City Centre at night.
The report also highlights suggestions to improve the night-time experience in these areas.
The ACT Government’s Better Regulation Taskforce used the survey results to inform a vision for night-life in Canberra.
