           COUNCIL POLICY — STREET PERFORMANCE

           Guiding Principles
           e     Council's consideration of new performance activities and locations will be primarily driven by
                 direct community evidence and stakeholder input and demand.
           e     The community’s use and need for the land takes precedence.
           °     The proposed activity/location must enhance the visitor and local experience of the Noosa Shire.
           e     The use must not adversely impact the community asset, adjacent commercial businesses or the
                 environment.

           Application Process
           Applications are to be made in accordance with the Guidelines. Applications must be accompanied by:
           °     Payment of the relevant fee.
           °     Proof of personal public liability insurance coverage of $20 million (Noosa Council must be noted

                 years of age in exceptional circumstances.
           e     Photographic identification must be supplied by the applicant e.g. driver's licence, passport,

           parent/guardian and photographic identification must be provided by all parties.
           Applicants may be asked to audition live.
           Audition

           °     The process is determined by each respective business association. The business association
                 may seek the input of local, well respected street performers.
           °     The judging panel may recommend to Council to approve or not approve an application.
           e     Applicants must bring along to the audition any equipment that is used as part of the
                 performance.

                 guaranteed).
           °     Applicants wishing to perform at multiple precincts will not have to make separate applications
                 incurring separate fees but will be subject to one application and fee only.
           Performance Locations

           e     Street performances are only permitted at designated sites defined in the Guidelines.
           °     The use of designated sites for street performances and compliance to the Guidelines will
