Live + Local program

Live and Local is a comprehensive capacity building program which responds directly to the need to increase participation in Australia’s local live music scene, and provides a platform for delivering live music activity that is innovative, flexible and sustainable.

In partnership with with The Live Music Office, Cairns Regional Council is aiming to build the capacity of local live music communities and support the growth of the local live music industry long term in the Council region.
