NSW Protects live music venues
In a groundbreaking move, NSW’s Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy has introduced landmark legislation to protect live music venues from noise complaints, ensuring they can operate without the constant threat of closure.
This legislation is a game-changer for artists, promoters, and fans. By shielding venues from noise-related challenges, it provides a stable foundation for live music to flourish. Key changes include:
Protecting venues from complaints by nearby residents through revised zoning laws.
Recognising live music as an integral part of NSW’s cultural and economic fabric.
Offering clearer guidelines for venues to meet compliance standards while continuing to host live events.
These changes not only safeguard existing venues but also pave the way for new ones, reinforcing NSW’s position as a hub for live music. The ALMBC applauds this initiative and encourages other states to follow suit.
This legislation sends a clear message: live music is essential, and its value to our communities must be protected. It’s a significant step toward a more vibrant and sustainable music ecosystem across Australia.
