NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Tuesday announced a raft of economic support measures for the state's businesses, including grants of between $5,000 and $10,000 depending on how much income they had lost.
The Dine and Discover scheme will be extended by a month to August 31, with NSW residents now also allowed to use the entertainment and hospitality vouchers for takeaway deliveries.
Ms Berejiklian said the new support measures showed NSW businesses their state government has 'got your back'.
'We have had a very difficult 18 months here in New South Wales but we have come out stronger the other end,' she said.
'Importantly, the support package today covers the entire State. It is not simply limited to hot spot areas in metropolitan Sydney.'
