Surely the council can line their coffers without resorting to targeting small business.

Stop killing our tourism, entertainment and hospitality industries... Don't let the minority old, self interested, kill joys ruin our economy and night life.

No-one wants a stale culture deprived and boring environment to live in, so lighten up QLD Govt and think laterally for a change. It's not all about money and business!

The joy of music should be made available to everyone at anytime within reason.

What a ridiculous amount of red tape ! These are small acoustic players, not the Rolling Stones, in an entertainment precinct, not a retirement village. Give the artists, the businesses and the audiences a break, Qld government !

This law must be changed if qld is going to be able to offer the best live music venues for locals and tourist. Stop penalising people for providing entertainment venues.

Live music is the heartbeat of the community. It attracts tourists and locals alike, making small business' strong. Give Pokies a hard time (they suck money out of people's pockets & do untold damage to addicts and there families) - let live music thrive.

Live music laws need to be changed before they totally kill off the music industry on the Sunshine Coast and other Qld venues

although I understand the legalities behind APRA and whatnot; it seems somewhat ridiculous for the excess laws surrounding live music. I'm down with this 100%!!!!

Liquor licencing seems intent to squash the creativity of the coast to keep a handful of whiners happy. They don't have the right!

You have my full support. Through clear vision, constructive effort and open communication, it is time to bring about healthy change to the unreasonable and oppressive Queensland live music laws.
