After almost a year of research and investigation, the City of Sydney’s 11-member Live Music and Performance Taskforce has released an action plan designed to strengthen the city’s live music scene and the venues which support it.
Such support would also benefit the state’s economy, with a 2011 report by Ernst & Young, The Economic Contribution of the Venue Based Live Music Industry in Australia, finding that the venue-based live music sector’s total industry output was approximately $1.21 billion in the 2009/10 financial year.
