The O'Farrell government's anti-violence measures, including last drinks at 3am and 1.30am lockouts, have reportedly seen assaults in the city fall since being introduced in February.
But Sydney's late-night revellers will have an extra hour to drink on Sunday thanks to daylight savings coming to an end.
At 3am on Sunday morning, clocks will have to be wound back an hour, giving people in the CBD and Kings Cross another hour to drink before last drinks are served.
Instead of drawing the line when the clock strikes 3am for the first time on Sunday morning, it's understood the O'Farrell government will not stop punters from having an extra hour of drinking.
Hospitality Minister George Souris says many people in NSW will likely use the extra hour to catch up on sleep, but his spokesman wouldn't comment on whether there were any concerns that drunken violence could rise that night.
Parliament this year passed a series of tough laws targeting drunken and drug-fuelled violence, including eight-year minimum mandatory sentences for fatal one-punch assaults if alcohol or drugs are involved.
The measures follow public outrage over the rise of serious drunken assaults in Sydney.
