Grants support sound proofing of live music venues to the tune of $25,000

Applications are now open for the second round of the Andrews Labor Government’s Good Music Neighbours program.

As part of the Labor Government’s $22 million Music Works program, Good Music Neighbours helps venues strike the balance between maintaining premium quality sound for audiences and performers and managing external noise levels for the benefit of surrounding residents and businesses.

Last year, 26 venues across Victoria, ranging from the iconic Tote Hotel to Gippsland’s historic Bundalaguah and Myrtlebank Hall, shared in more than $270,000 in grants through the program.

Supported projects included acoustic assessments, installing double glazing, creating air lock entrances as well as the installation of sound absorbing furnishings.

Applications for the one year grant can be submitted via Creative Victoria and close on Wednesday June 7.
