The City of Sydney will weigh 24-hour trading in the city centre in response to residents calling for a better night-time economy, Lord Mayor Clover Moore says.

Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore says the council is responding to feedback from thousands of residents calling for a better night-time economy.

The changes include extending hours for unlicensed businesses, late-night trading areas in fast-growing neighbourhoods such as Barangaroo and Green Square, additional hours for performance and culture, and a new 24-hour cultural precinct in Alexandria.

Some changes are subject to the NSW government's lockout laws.

The City of Sydney will consider the development control plan on Monday night at its monthly council meeting.

If the council approves the plan, businesses will be able to apply for the new trading hours through a development application process.
