A 24-hour city centre could become a reality in Sydney after the passing of a new late-night trading plan it's hoped will push the NSW state government to reconsider its lockout laws.

The City of Sydney's Late Night Trading plan passed at its monthly council meeting on Monday night, after councillors unanimously voted in favour of new development controls.

The new controls allow for 24-hour trading across the city centre and extended trading to 2am for low-impact food and drink venues on major high streets.
