Businesses are blaming a lack of office workers and commuters for a rocky reopening more than two weeks since lockdown ended.
Paul Nicolaou says it has a rippling effect on the businesses that depend on staying open.
“With foot traffic still below 10 percent in city streets and malls, it’s going to be a hard battle for businesses that are still trading to stay open,” he said.
The Sydney CBD and North Sydney are most visibly hit by store and office closures.
A number of stores in the MetCentre closed last week and boarded-up shopfronts riddle the North Sydney CBD.
