An example of a course originally developed as a bespoke training request for a council, this is a session for statutory planning teams regarding the planning framework for live music. It is intended as a refresher to help statutory planners meet their obligations in managing and protecting live music venues. It explores the challenges and tensions inherent in this issue.
Material covered includes:
- The origins and operation of the agent of change principle.
- The tangle of jurisdictions affecting live music, and the role planning plays in this system.
- Council’s obligations in assessing applications, notably in relation to clause 53.06.
- Approaches to planning conditions, application management, and information requests.
Excellent and thought provoking which is what we were going for!
