Emily Nicol and Kathryn Holloway are departing MusicNSW after six-year tenures as board members.

The Punters Club is back, Love Machine cops a $20,000 fine, SXSW Sydney wins a major award, and more: all the happenings in Australia's music industry.

The announcement follows the successful trial and implementation of the Enmore Road Special Entertainment Precinct.

This year’s Australian Music Prize has been increased from $30,000 to $50,000 – proving SoundMerch’s “commitment and support of Australian artists”.

“This funding underscores the crucial role that WAM plays in supporting and nurturing the Western Australian music industry.”

Spotify reps confirmed the artists affected had “explicitly violate[d their] content policies or local laws”.

The Punters Club closed its doors on 17 February 2002.

Artists, venues, and festivals can submit themselves for consideration for this year’s awards from today until Friday, 19 July.
