Pubs currently need to apply to operate beyond 1 am.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>Labor also proposes a permanent government Live Music Desk, noise regulation changes, a new Live Gigs Fund and protected music precincts in Fitzroy, Collingwood, Geelong and Ballarat.<\/li>\n<li>Labor has committed <strong>$4 million<\/strong> for regional touring and <strong>$1 million<\/strong> for regional festivals.<\/li>\n<li>The Coalition would allow eligible Melbourne bars and music venues to trade until 3 am and offer multi-year licences to operators with strong compliance records.<\/li>\n<li>The Coalition also proposes one application process for the traffic, policing and liquor approvals festival organizers need. An industry-backed advocate would help coordinate the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Later trading could give venues more time to earn revenue after performances and more scope for longer bills, aftershows and late-night programming. Longer licences and a single festival application could reduce administrative costs and uncertainty for event organizers.<\/p>\n<h2>Venue protections<\/h2>\n<p>Victoria has created a <strong>Live Music Overlay<\/strong> that lets councils identify music precincts and individual venues in the planning system. It would give residents and developers clearer notice of established nightlife nearby and give venues greater protection in disputes over sound.<\/p>\n<h2>Industry funding proposal<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicvictoria.com.au\/\">Music Victoria\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> Vote Victorian Music campaign is calling for a permanent Victorian Music Trust funded by a <strong>1% levy<\/strong> on tickets for major events at stadiums, arenas and government-owned venues. The organization estimates that the levy could raise approximately <strong>$4.4 million a year<\/strong> for artists, independent venues and grassroots music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Labor and the Liberal-National Coalition have proposed changes to trading hours and regulation for Victoria&#8217;s live music sector ahead of
