METHODOLOGY The Project Team conducted face-to-face intercept surveys (the same survey to be completed via the Your Say’ website), collected qualitative data through open ended questions and quantitative data ‘Sydney through interactive information boards. The data captures community insights and feedback helping to identify the existing night-time character of each location as well as community values looking to the future. The pop up design and intercept methodology lent itself to a location based approach, with the wider LGA considered when relevant to the participant’s evening activity and preference. These themes and key questions will also align and support other engagement approaches across the project including the online survey and phone interviews. ACTIVITIES AT THE POP UPS ACTIVITY ONE - AREAS OF OPERATION FOR LATE-NIGHT PRECINCTS refers to locations within the City where late-night premises operate. They are defined by three categories: ‘Areas’ Local Centre: Because these areas may be close to residential areas, earlier closing times are required; City Living: a concentration of late-night trading is not encouraged, but areas may have spots’ in streets and laneways that are ‘night underused at night; and Late Night Management: Close to places with less intensive night-time activity, acting as a buffer for residential areas. Each category responds to the location, character and use of each area. A large-scale interactive board (see previous page) displayed an LGA wide map marked with current night Management areas and adjacent definitions of each area category (Late-Night Management, City Living and Local Centre). The activity sought to expand on survey questions around specific late-night precincts and the levels of activity preferred within each locality. Participants were given the option of placing three coloured pins on the map. Green pins indicated an extension or increase in late-night activity, yellow pins indicated a preference for current levels of activity to continue, and red pins indicated a contraction or were placed on the map. reduction in late-night activity. Across the 10 pop up locations, a total of 487 green, 73 yellow and 39 red pins Photo: Staff members explaining activity one to participant at Circular Quay (Source: JOC Consulting)
