The ACT government has brought in sweeping changes to noise restrictions in the city in a bid to boost live music and entertainment.

It has also made a range of regulatory changes including reducing liquor licensing fees in some circumstances.

Further changes, including parking permits for musicians, will come into effect in the coming weeks before the government hopes to replicate the entertainment precinct in other town centres.

I'm sure there will be someone found who doesn't like it, but did you look at the map of the area where the limit is changing? Hardly anyone lives within that perimeter or even in the immediate surrounds.

I wouldn't have too much sympathy for anyone moving into Civic and expecting it to be quiet anyway. It's like those who buy in Braddon around Lonsdale St and complain about evening noise and Summernats as if these things popped out of nowhere...
