Petition Calls For Laws To Protect Sydney Music Venues

A petition has been created this week with the aim for the Government to pass laws that would protect Sydney music venues from noise complaints. 

The petition creator in particular has targeted the Newtown area after a number of venues in the district have recently received complaints. 

If successful, Sydney would follow in Victoria's footsteps, which last year passed the same laws that now protect live music venues throughout the state. 

"Newtown was built around Artists, live music, Queer culture and alternative spaces," the petition reads. 

"We can not let people shut us down, shut us up, and shut us out. Newtown is too good to lose."

The desired amount of signatures required is set at 2500 and impressively, just over 200 signatures are now needed to push the petition forward.
