\u201cThis is a key action from our After Dark and Live Music strategies to support our local live music and creative industries while raising awareness among residents,\u201d The Lord Mayor said.\n\u201cNewcastle boasts almost 100 live music venues, with many operating in mixed uses areas with residential neighbours.
\n\u201cPlacing information about live music and night time activities on planning certificates will assist in managing the expectations of those who move into the city and are surprised by the levels of background noise.\u201d
\nCity of Newcastle Councillor Carol Duncan said the addition of a planning certificate notice demonstrates a strong commitment to developing an activated and vibrant City.
\n\u201cThis initiative recognises that Newcastle is increasingly a creative and global city that must be shared by its residents in order for our night time economy to be strong, which in turn makes the city safer and economically stronger\u201d Cr Duncan said.
\n\u201cThe new notification provides greater transparency for purchasers on the importance and significance City of Newcastle gives to our live music and creative industries.
\n\u201cThe new notification supports a vibrant City with a growing night time economy by acknowledging that noise can be experienced from live music venues and events.
\n\u201cWhile the right of residents to not be unduly impacted by noise late at night remains in place, this is a way we can support Newcastle\u2019s rich creative scene which is a major contributor to our local economy.
\n\u201cA truly thriving and diverse night time economy will play a part of the city\u2019s growth and success moving forward.\u201d
\nCity of Newcastle\u2019s Live Music Strategy (2019) and Newcastle After Dark: Night Time Economy Strategy (2018) were unanimously supported by Council and support live music and the night-time economy which play a key role in accommodation, events, cultural and business uses in the City Centre and Town Centres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
