Agent of Change
On September 4, 2014, the Victorian State Government amended planning schemes to implement the ‘Agent of Change’ principle with respect to noise from live music performance. The Agent of Change principle aims to protect live music venues from residential encroachment.
The new clause (52.43) has now been in effect for many months and has been tested in several planning cases. Marshall Day Acoustics has been involved in a number of music assessment projects where the Agent of Change clause has been triggered. MDA has also taken part in Music Industry discussions, and presented technical information to local Councils and Music Industry Bodies on the topic of Agent of Change, throughout the Clause’s evolution since its introduction.
