For decades, Selina’s at Coogee Bay was the third-largest live music venue in Sydney. Giving us the opportunity for intimate gigs with huge acts, and acting as a vital stepping stone for emerging bands as they began to breakthrough. Despite trading for more than 50 years, the last ten has pushed Selina’s to the brink. Our infamously fun policing NSW Liberal Government, with its lockout laws and liquor laws which literally banned rock music, dancing and mirror balls for a time, has resulted in Selina’s struggling to stay commercially sustainable. If we want to still be able to enjoy intimate gigs or see Sydney musicians rise to the top of the charts—we have to protect Selina’s now. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6164d3fb5c249e47d9f0a11f/t/616e0300463c2413ebedfddc/1634600287473/protest.png Home - So how do we do this? We have worked together to protect Sydney’s nightlife and live music before. We know this is a powerful electoral issue, and when the people of Sydney stand together — our leaders will eventually listen. The first step? Add your name to the petition, and let’s make it clear just how many people want to see live music thrive in Sydney. From there, we want to hear your favourite memory from Selina’s over the years. Can you share your story? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6164d3fb5c249e47d9f0a11f/t/616698b14011606e1659c8be/1634600267297/shutterstock_758906440.jpeg Home - What’s the plan? There’s a way to make Selina’s, and other live music venues across Sydney, viable once more. We can push the state Government to give Selina’s a new Special Entertainment Precincts classification. These precincts, which can be anything from a streetscape (such as Enmore Road) or a single premises (such as the Coogee Bay Hotel), give venues a break. Allowing them to manage opening hours, sound volumes and traffic flow locally with the council and their community — rather than pushing them into a big, one-size-fits-all state bureaucracy. https://www.saveselinas.com/take-action daily 0.75 2021-10-12 https://www.saveselinas.com/share-your-selinas-story daily 0.75 2021-11-16 https://www.saveselinas.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-10-22
