Consultation has concluded



The Live and Local project is a joint initiative to be delivered by Council in partnership with the Live Music Office and APRA AMCOS from mid-2021 until mid-2022.

Live and Local is a capacity-building project which aims to increase participation in the local live music scene and explore ways to deliver live music activities in Coffs Harbour that are innovative, flexible and sustainable. The project aims to stimulate employment opportunities for musicians, particularly young, diverse and emerging, while supporting economic activities and developing cultural spaces for audiences.

 


The project has seen the creation of the Coffs Live and Local Working Group. The group is facilitated by Council and is made up of the local music community and groups who will work together to support the growth of Coffs’ live music scene and help with conducting a Live Music Census.

The project aims to:


  • Conduct a live music census to get a snapshot of the Coffs Coast live music scene.

  • Pilot two Micro Festivals around the City Centre to showcase local performers and unique venues around late 2021.

  • Deliver a Professional Development Workshop for artists and venues to help encourage more live music performances.

  • Deliver a Local Music Industry Forum for local industry input into what a thriving music scene looks like.


Project outcomes include:

  • Paid performance opportunities for local musicians

  • Network of local businesses programming live music more regularly.
  • Database of musicians and businesses established.
  • Working group established to support growth of live music scene.
