Victoria proposes easing outdoor music noise rules, removing most EPA approvals for gigs while keeping limits.
The Victorian government is launching public consultations on proposed changes to live music and outdoor event noise rules, aiming to simplify regulations for live music precincts and reduce bureaucratic hurdles.
Under the plan, most outdoor gigs would no longer require prior EPA approval unless they are major festivals or held at unusual times, though noise limits would remain.
The EPA noted current rules are outdated, citing unnecessary permits for events like Anzac Day services and fun runs.
Beer gardens would be classified as indoor venues, and shared acoustic reports could cut costs for multiple venues.
While industry leaders support the intent, some question how existing venues will benefit.
Consultation will continue into 2025.
