IN a step towards protecting Victoria\u2019s live music scene, five Ballarat venues received significant survival grants as part of the Live Music Venues Program.<\/p>\n

The programs local recipients and supplied grants include $80,000 for Volta, $60,000 for Trades Hall Ballarat, $80,000 for The Eastern, $100,000 for Hop Temple and $75,000 for The Main Bar.<\/p>\n

Co-owner of the Eastern Hotel Matt Stone said this grant has saved them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would not have survived without it,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can now focus on reopening and bring the community back together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited by the future and would like to thank everyone who has been involved to bring this together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoping to revive the local music industry in preparation for COVID Normal, Ballarat\u2019s recipients are among 106 venues across the state to share $9 million worth of grants in the first step of the program.<\/p>\n

Member for Wendouree Juliana Addison said these grants will save jobs and music businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis support for iconic Ballarat venues will protect our grassroots live music scene,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ensuring that our local live music will continue to nurture and promote Ballarat artists well beyond this pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Member for Buninyong Michaela Settle added, \u201cBallarat has always been known for its live music scene, these grants will support our scene and the bands can play on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing these venues open soon; fostering local musos and creative jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local musicians and music businesses may also be eligible to apply the next round of grants through the program at creative.vic.gov.au<\/strong><\/a>, where applications close at 5pm Thursday, 22 October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
