Special arrangements have been established to manage a serious emergency event in the Sydney or North Sydney CBD.  These arrangements have been put in place to ensure police and emergency services can manage the high concentration of people in these business districts - small, confined geographic areas.

The Sydney CBD Emergency Plan covers the area bounded roughly by the Harbour foreshore, Darling Harbour, Railway Square and College Street.

The North Sydney CBD covers the area broadly bounded by Ridge and West Streets to the north; Pacific Highway, Napier Edward and Band Streets to the west; Lavender Street to the south; and the Warringah Freeway to the east. Review the Sydney CBD Emergency Sub Plan Map.

The plan provides advice for workers, visitors and residents in the CBD area during a serious emergency. There are also detailed plans in place to transport people home, keep them safe while waiting to return to work or home, or to temporarily accommodate them.
