The criminalisation of coercive control in NSW will make women safer, the government says, as police face a probe into their response as a woman lay dying in her home.

The woman in her 40s was pronounced dead after police arrived at a home on Johnston Street at Casino in the state's north on Saturday, https://rummyola1.in/ almost an hour after a call for help.

Dwayne John Creighton, 31, has been charged with her murder and faces Lismore Local Court on Monday.

Police Minister Yasmin Catley said it was a horrific incident, and concerns around the response time required an independent review and a coronial inquiry.

"We do not want this to happen again," she told Seven's Sunrise program on Monday.

"We want to make sure that people have the confidence that when they call, police will come."

A critical incident team from a separate police district is investigating, with oversight from the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.

The criminalisation of coercive control, repeated patterns of physical or non-physical abuse used to hurt, scare, intimidate, threaten or control someone, begins on Monday.

Attorney-General Michael Daley said perpetrators could be jailed for up to seven years if found guilty.

"Abuse against a current or former intimate partner is unacceptable and will not be tolerated," he said.

"We believe in the presumption of innocence, but it is also important to recognise the right of victim survivors to be safe from harassment, intimidation or violence."

Coercive control was a precursor to 97 per cent of intimate partner domestic violence homicides in NSW between 2000 and 2018.

Tougher bail laws mean people charged with serious domestic violence offences, with a maximum imprisonment of 14 years or more, must demonstrate why they should not remain in custody.

These include sexual assault, kidnapping, and choking to render someone unconscious with intent to commit another indictable offence in intimate partner relationships.

The criminalisation of coercive control passed parliament in 2022, but its introduction delayed to allow time to educate police, the judiciary and the public.

Successful prosecutions will have to prove an intent to coerce and control.

Other changes taking place on Monday are aimed at revitalising Sydney's nightlife economy and keep people safer on the roads.

Sound-proofing grants and regulations will protect music venues from serial complainants, while cameras that have captured drivers using their phones on the road will also check they are wearing a seatbelt.

The noise and licensing reforms include order of occupancy which will prevent new residents restricting already-established venues.

The number of people needed for a disturbance complaint will increase from three to five, and must not be from the same household or business.

Temporary pandemic allowances for small bars to sell take-away alcohol during the pandemic will become permanent.

Soundproofing and live performance grants will provide funds to venues to improve sound management, as well as for equipment, programming and marketing costs.

Music and Night-Time Economy Minister John Graham said the new rules aimed to help restore the city's ailing nightlife.

"We are rebuilding Sydney's night-time economy, venue by venue, neighbourhood by neighbourhood," he said.

Mobile phone detection cameras will also begin enforcing seatbelt fines from Monday.

Drivers or passengers caught by camera not wearing their seatbelt will be hit with fines of up to $410 and three demerit points.

Mr Graham, also the state's roads minister, says the crackdown will help get the message to non-complying drivers.

"World-first mobile phone detection cameras have had great success in changing that behaviour and we expect seatbelt cameras to do the same," he said.

Between 2019 and 2023, 150 people in NSW died while not wearing a seatbelt.
