'Fun is not silent': Live entertainment noise limits in city relaxed significantly
www.abc.net.au
Changes to noise restrictions which will allow sounds of up to 75 decibels until 1am over the weekend in the city have been wholeheartedly embraced by the live music sector in Canberra.

The ACT government has brought in sweeping changes to noise restrictions in the city in a bid to boost live music and entertainment.

It has also made a range of regulatory changes including reducing liquor licensing fees in some circumstances.

Further changes, including parking permits for musicians, will come into effect in the coming weeks before the government hopes to replicate the entertainment precinct in other town centres.
