Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the $500 million program followed successful testing and pilots in The Rocks, Broken Hill, Sydney CBD, Northern Beaches and Bega Valley.
“This stimulus will give businesses the boost they need after an incredibly tough 12 months, and will encourage customers to get out and about safely.
“These vouchers will help businesses keep their doors open and grow, while providing customers with much needed hip pocket relief," Ms Berejiklian said.
Dine & Discover NSW will be rolled out progressively across the State, with the first two stages underway.
Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the program would bring much needed relief to some of the State’s hardest hit industries.
“Whether it’s a café, restaurant, cinema or gallery, these industries have done it tough during the pandemic, and these vouchers will encourage more customers to come through the door and spend," Mr Perrottet said.
NSW residents will be able to easily apply online to receive their vouchers through the latest version of the Service NSW app and website, and a non-digital solution will be made available to customers who do not have a smartphone or compatible device.
Every NSW resident aged 18 and over will be eligible for four $25 vouchers worth $100 in total, to spend in participating businesses.
Dine & Discover NSW vouchers will be divided into two categories:
Two $25 vouchers to be used for eating in at restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs and clubs seven days a week, excluding public holidays.
Two $25 vouchers to be used for entertainment and recreation, including cultural institutions, live music, and arts venues, available seven days a week, excluding public holidays.
Businesses can register to participate in the program at any time and vouchers are valid until 30 June 2021. The vouchers can be used only at eligible businesses that have implemented a COVID Safety Plan and are registered as COVID-safe.
Throughout each week, vouchers will become available in more Local Government Areas. For more information on Dine & Discover NSW, visit www.nsw.gov.au.
