Agents of change in Melbourne's live music scene: A practical review
On September 4, 2014, the Victorian Government amended planning schemes across Victoria to implement the 'Agent of Change' principle with respect to noise from live music performance, aiming to protect live music venues from residential encroachment. The new clause has now been in effect
for 18 months and has been tested in several planning cases. As other cities around the world look to implement similar strategies, the effects of Victoria's Planning scheme amendment are reviewed in the context of Melbourne's live music scene and the gentrification of its inner suburbs where
most venues are located. This paper examines how the amendment objectives have been realised, identifies barriers to the implementation of the amendment, and recognises and discusses opportunities to further encourage best practice in the design of residential/music venue interfaces.
