Dear local member - Make it local

I am a local resident in your electorate ELATED about the community impact of the new planning laws introduced by Planning Minister Frank Sartor.

These State Government Pro-Cultural Development laws will significantly improve work opportunities for Musicians, Actors and Comedians in NSW, and are the best news in living memory for the development of creative industries in the State.
 
Changes to planning laws are needed desperately. Local voices matter.
As the Local Governments and Shires Assn of NSW say in their cultural development policy:

"The Associations recognise and support the vital actions councils take to enable their diverse communities to participate in cultural expression. The ability to 'tell our story' is an essential and defining human characteristic. In a climate of expanding global homogeneity, local representation is increasingly important"

These long overdue reforms to entertainment laws that kill live performance and ignore pokies and plasma screens are BLOODY FANTASTIC!

I look forward to you passing these excellent reforms.

Make creative industries local!
