New noise laws take hold in Victoria

Victoria’s live music scene has welcomed the implementation of the new "Agent of Change laws", which will better protect venues from noise complaints by new residential developers - meaning that developers and newcomers will have the adaprt to change - rather than forcing venues to close down or spend unsustainable sums of money on sound proffing when redidential and other new developments are located nearby.  Members of the music industry have praised the changes as overwhelmingly positive and “unprecedented around the world”.
