Interesting article in The Age yesterday. Apparently the Victorian state government has ‘vowed to implement an ”agent-of-change” planning principle’ for live music venues that ‘clash with new residents over noise complaints’.

The article goes on to say – “Residents who move into an area with live music venues would have to bear the cost of soundproofing. If a venue began hosting live music events in a residential area, it would have the responsibility”. How cool is that! Keeping our fingers crossed. Click here to read more.
