Donald Page MP makes a decision
Ballina National Party local member
Donald Page MP
looks like having to make a decision on whether to act in his
electorate this week after the closure of the local Coorabell
Community Hall to local artists.
"A series of noise complaints believed to be from the one source -
has forced the community-based Coorabell Hall Association to cancel all
future gigs at the hall.
With the hall one of the last in the region accepting bookings for
bands, the decision will come as a huge blow to local musicians".
Not just a Member of the NSW Legislative Assembly and the Member for
Ballina, Donald Page MP is also the Shadow Minister for Small Business
& Regulatory Reform as well as the Shadow Minister for Tourism.
Donald, as the Shadow Minister for Small Business in Ballina, if you don't think theres any place for musicians in the electorate, then they won't need anywhere to work.
As Shadow Minister for Regulatory Reform you would of course be
aware of the important changes under schedule 5.1[1] and [2] in the
draft EP & A Amendment Bill 2008 as well as
section 81 (3) (a) of the Liquor Act 2007 for live performance in
NSW.
As Shadow Minister for Tourism, you might consider if the local music festivals in your electorate are good for the economy.
Mr Page, if the entertainment in the Hall is loud, then of course it
must be brought under control, but don't let the council stop
people getting together and making music in this Hall please. Thank
You.
Send Donald Page MP an email, I did.
