Live and Local is a capacity building project which will focus on strengthening and supporting local live music communities including musicians, businesses and venues, local councils and local industry workers across Gympie, Noosa, Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, and Redlands. The project includes three main tiers:
- Planning and strategy development with local government
- Industry-focussed professional development
- Programming and delivery of micro-festivals across each region.

This musician/artist survey will help map the South East Queensland North (SEQN) music sector and inform planning and policy/strategy development being undertaken between Live Music Office and each Council. Data will also contribute to Creative Arts Alliance’s project reporting and future program / project development.

The survey is likely to take 5 - 10 minutes to complete.

Information or data used from the survey will have any identifying characteristics removed to protect the identities of respondents.

Thanks very much for taking the time to complete this survey. It’s gratefully appreciated.
