To quote from that release: "Musicians, venue operators and residents have been invited to have their say on Melbourne and Victoria's live music scene". If you are a musician, work in the music industry or just love to see live bands then this is your chance to have your voice heard. If you have an opinion or ideas on this issue then put in a submission to: Live Music Taskforce Secretariat, C/o Mr Ashley Admiraal, Department of Sustainability and Environment, Level 20, 80 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Or email: ashley.admiraal@dse.vic.gov.au : All submissions should be forwarded by end of the second week of August, 2003.
