MusicNSW, the Australian Festival Association, Live Performance Australia, APRA AMCOS and the Live Music Office have formed an industry coalition to voice concerns about the NSW’s changes to music festival licensing regulations.
Removal of “draconian” live music venue and festival regulations and increased funding for arts and music are among the official new music policies from the NSW Greens.

New party policies from Keep Sydney Open have addressed growing concerns around music festival regulations and live music investment, ahead of the NSW state election on March 23rd.
The campaign comes as a reaction to “overbearing regulation, exorbitant police bills, a lack of respect for NSW businesses, and very little recognition of the significant positive impacts of music on our communities”.
