- Waverley Council more than triples locations for busking
Waverley Council more than triples locations for busking
22 June 2023
22 June 2023
Waverley Council is proud to unveil its new and improved Street Performance Policy and Guidelines to performers and the wider community.
The new policy sees the number of performance zones in Waverley increase from three to 10, including 30 new one-year permits for local artists to perform in these zones between 9am and 9pm.
Mayor of Waverley, Paula Masselos, said the policy responds to the Council and Waverley community’s desire to showcase and support our creative sector in our vibrant network of spaces and places for arts and culture participation, production and experience.
“It provides increased opportunities for a variety of busking and buskers in more locations across Waverley including Bondi Junction, Bondi Road, and Bondi Beach,” Mayor Masselos said.
“Make Music Day, celebrated yesterday in Waverley, demonstrated how street performance can enliven our public places with music and a fun vibe.
Maxi Signori was among the street performers celebrating Make Music Day in Bondi Junction.
“The policy is just one of the ways we are supporting the sector and our local businesses, and the community, by activating our public spaces with music and performance.”
This policy was informed by our Arts and Culture Plan 2021-2026, the Bondi Junction Evening Culture and Entertainment Strategy 2018-2028 and feedback received from the community when the draft policy was exhibited between 19 October and 21 February 2023.
“The reopening of Bondi Pavilion has shone a spotlight on arts in culture in Waverley, and Council and the community have responded to ensure that culture also has a space on the streets in Waverley.
