In NSW even the quietest of acoustic Live Music requires two development applications through council, invitations for negative impact statements as well as extensive fire compliance under the building code before the Music can begin, and yet large screen sport, amplified background Music, and poker machines are totally exempt from any entertainment assessment.

This is inconsistent and anti- cultural.

We request the rationalisation of entertainment assessment in NSW, so that a venue is assessed on the numbers of people in the room, not the type of entertainment.

We request the immediate deregulation of acoustic and ambient instruments in Pubs, Clubs and Restaurants in NSW, understanding the exemptions to large screens, amplified backgound Music, poker machines, etc.

Additionally, the new Liquor Bill for NSW has for the first time recognition of the relationship between Licensing options and work opportunities for Live Musicians in the current draft.

We must ensure that these reforms are included when the final Bill is passed, and are respected in the continuing development of the regulations


At this time, extensive and detailed work has been done to define strategic areas for reform, particularly the issues for the consideration of Government prepared in the NSW Premiers Department Options paper on Live Music in NSW

We hereby call apon the Government of NSW, relevant Departments and Agencies, and the Members of the NSW Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly to give these proposed reforms both priority and bi-partisan support, so as to ensure a healthy and vibrant Live Music environment in NSW, and to contribute to the future development of the cultural life of Australia.
