Federal Music Industry Priorities in QLD are articulated by QMusic

Local priorities in Fairfax are articulated by the Sunshine Coast Music Industry Collective (SCMIC).

Local priorities in the Federal Electorate of Fairfax include:

(in development).

Supporting the leadership of the Traditional Owners in the region - the Kabi Kabi and Jinibara People
Building the leadership, funding and activity of the not-for-profit group SCMIC including supporting the development of a Sunshine Coast Music Awards
Development and Council endorsement of a Sunshine Coast Music Industry Strategy
Building opportunities for First Nations artists and workers
Reinvigorate regional touring
Smart investments in public transport and other industry development mechanisms
Funding to activate the Nambour Special Entertainment Precinct
New Special Entertainment Precincts in Maroochydore, Caloundra and Kawana

Some notable barriers include:

Perception / reality of distance between many local towns and reliance on cars for transport
Proximity to Brisbane and drain of creative leaders, artists out of the region
Major issues with cost of housing and costs of living – all influenced by tourism in the region

How have these priorities been developed?

Development of the Sunshine Coast Creative Arts Plan by Sunshine Coast Regional Council
Development of SCMIC
Live and Local Music Industry Development program in a partnership between RASN, Sunshine Coast Regional Council and the federal Live Music Office.
