Petition to save live music in NSW

Labor Loves Live Music is a campaign fighting to revive the live music industry before it is too late. Now that the iconic Annandale Hotel has gone into receivership, after years of vexatious complaints and costly legal cases, it is time for Councils to start promoting instead of prosecuting live music venues.

Dear Local Councillors in New South Wales,

We the undersigned:

Call on all Councils in NSW to immediately adopt a ‘Good Neighbour’ policy that will:

1) End the unnecessary prosecution of live music venues

2) Convene regular meetings between licensees and local residents to resolve noise complaints and protect the rights of existing venues

3) Deliver greater protection to long standing venues against newly arrived neighbours making unreasonable complaints
