Help shape how street performance is supported, shared and celebrated

Busking plays an important role in creating a vibrant, creative, and welcoming Wingecarribee. Street performances contribute to everyday cultural experiences, bring life to public spaces, and give local artists the chance to share their talent.

Background

The draft Busking Policy aligns with Council’s broader commitment to arts, culture, and placemaking, and supports our shared community vision for Wingecarribee to be a vibrant and liveable place for all generations.

The policy is guided by the following principles:

  • Artistic value and creative expression
  • High-quality, attractive public spaces
  • Safety and accessibility
  • Respectful use of shared spaces
  • Recognition of busking as a valid form of creative work

Your feedback is a way for you to share your thoughts and ideas on a particular issue or project. The goal is to make sure your voice and the community’s voices are heard and considered. It helps provide valuable insights, identify potential issues and suggest improvements. This way, decisions can be more inclusive, transparent and effective, reflecting what you and the community really needs and wants.

Responses to engagement projects are compiled and considered. When projects are reported to Council to make a decision a summary of community feedback will be included. Updates on projects will be included in these pages and elsewhere on Council's website.

Sometimes it takes some months to provide feedback to the community and to make a decision as further investigation is often needed. We are listening and we do take your suggestions on board!
