MUSIC AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
A major focus of our activities at the moment is the interation between local government and music. Recently we've been involved in the NSW Local Government Arts & Culture Summit, the City of Sydney Live Music Taskforce, and we chaired a panel and discussion session about Local Government at our most recent conference.
To find out more, see papers by John Wardle, Chloe Beevers and Scott O'Hara, and read more about our activities in this area.
