Ms THEOPHANOUS (Northcote) (14:38): (6109) My question is to the Minister for Creative Industries, and I ask: what steps are being taken to support our events and live music industries to recover from the pandemic? Northcote is deeply proud of its local live music scene, events and creative industries. They are a big part of our social and economic fabric, creating jobs and social connection. From the Northcote Social Club to Swamplands Bar, the Merri Creek Tavern, the Peacock, Croxton Bandroom, the Wesley Anne, Open Studio and the Thornbury Theatre, just to name a few, we are home to some of the state’s most amazing live music spots. But nothing can truly replace being open for business. We are now rapidly speeding towards reopening, but there are still going to be challenges, like density limits and patron hesitancy. We must make sure these industries are supported to grow and thrive. I would be very grateful for an update on this work.
