The city's licensed venues have been required to shut their doors from 1.30am for almost two decades, but publicans have recently shown an interest in relaxing the long-standing rule.

Fast-food restaurants on Baylis Street could stand to benefit from extended operating hours, but the proposed change has also brought concerns for some businesses that are open past midnight.

Anatolia Kebabs is just one of the businesses offering late night feeds for customers on their way home from a night out.

Mat Snowden, the manager of Anatolia Kebabs, said the current approach has been effective and keeps alcohol-related violence on the street at bay.

It is because of this reason, he believes the city's long-standing rule should remain in play for licensed venues, regardless of the benefits associated with extended opening hours.

He said any change that could push back or remove the lockout will require Anatolia Kebabs to investigate its security measures to ensure employees working the late-shift are safe.

"At the moment, we are seeing that our customers are more coherent before the 1.30am lockout, but post-1.30am that is when it gets a bit iffy," Mr Snowden said.

"Any changes to the lockout rules will require us to re-evaluate the safety and security options that we have in place, which comes as an added cost and it not for certain our revenue would cover that cost."

Bailey Wilson, the manager of Sizzle on Baylis, supports the push to rethink the lockout policy because it would allow the business to stay open for longer on Friday and Saturday nights.

"If we are open later that will mean more customers are coming through our doors," he said.

"We have no problems with our customers' behaviours. They are not bad at all, they are always quiet and keep to themselves."

Jocelyn Albert, the co-owner of Sanjos Wagga, has taken over the business in the past two weeks with her husband Barry and they are still becoming familiar with the city's nightlife.

"Other than prolonging our opening hours, it is too early to say how it might affect our shop," she said.

"The behaviours aren't too bad. People are drunk, of course, but not to the point where they have caused problems."

She has no concerns about safety or security risks with the surrounding businesses supporting each other.

"The staff who work during the night are just the owners, so we are not too concerned about security," she said.

"The businesses that are open at that time are also looking out for each other."
