The opportunity
From the iconic St Kilda Festival to a variety of microfestivals, our city is a hub for cultural expression and community engagement.
There are several unique opportunities for State and Federal Governments to partner with Council, to showcase local talent, attract visitors, and foster a thriving arts scene that benefits everyone.
Why we're advocating
Live music and events are more than just entertainment; they are vital to the social and economic fabric of our community. They bring people together, create a sense of belonging, and stimulate local businesses.
By advocating for a supportive environment for live music, we aim to enhance the quality of life for our residents, boost tourism, and drive economic growth. The City of Port Phillip’s rich cultural heritage and dynamic arts scene deserve to be nurtured and celebrated.
What we're advocating for
We are urging State and Federal Governments to invest in live music and events.
An investment is crucial to creating a sustainable and vibrant live music ecosystem in the City of Port Phillip that supports artists, venues, and the broader community. By advocating for these changes and investments, we aim to ensure that live music continues to be a cornerstone of our city’s identity and a source of pride for all residents.
