At present, there is no active peak body representing the Victorian music industry. Most other Australian states and territories have an established organisation that provides significant benefit to their local music makers and businesses.
Key music support agencies Australian Music Industry Network (AMIN), APRA, Arts Victoria, The Push and AIR have formed a partnership to confer with the Victorian music community on this issue. They need your help!
If we are to have a new Victorian body, what would this look like? What would its activities be and how could it add value to the music sector?
Music makers and businesses across diverse music genres and activities are now being consulted to identify needs and issues.
A shared view is emerging that supports a new body able to provide industry development and effective advocacy on issues, such as those surrounding the impact of Liquor Licensing on small live music venues.
People participating across the wider music industry are invited to provide their views via an online survey, available now at www.musicvictoria.com.au.
Interested parties are also able to make a written submission to the Music Victoria Project Steering Committee, up to Friday 18 December 2009, by email: info@musicvictoria.com.au, or by mail: PO Box 220, Brunswick 3056.
Any feedback is valued and will support decision making about a new body to be made in early 2010. All interested contributors will be able to become involved.
