The NSW Parliament last week removed all references to the term “Place of Public Entertainment” (PoPE) from NSW Planning laws. In other words, all out of date barriers to live entertainment in NSW are gone. Your average hotel, restaurant or café can have live music, comedy and theatre as a normal activity under the standard and existing compliance from September or October. The removal of PoPE took longer than expected but they gained more than they expected. “A rejuvenation of opportunities for artists to perform in New South Wales,” said parliamentarian Matthew Mason-Cox.
