We’re proposing changes to entertainment sound rules including requirements for venues and nearby residential developments.
The draft development control plan (DCP):
This consultation coincides with feedback for special entertainment precincts.
Existing venues identified for the entertainment sound management DCP maps. New residential development near these existing venues will be subject to the proposed entertainment sound controls.
Our area is home to diverse nightlife, with a long history of mixed and vibrant neighbourhoods.
To support the continued growth of the night-time economy while accommodating new homes, we developed planning rules to manage entertainment sound.
Our plan complements late-night trading and provides certainty for venues while protecting their neighbours.
We’ll report the results to the Transport, Heritage and Planning Committee.
If the changes are approved after public comment, we’ll publish the finalised plan on our website.
Consultation closes at 5pm on Monday 20 January 2025.
