Wyong Shire Wowser

I just thought I'd check Wyong Shire Council's busking policy, given that I'm moving north soon and might want to busk there...  Here's what their website says:

Busking


Council does not issue permits or licenses for busking purposes, therefore it is not allowed on Council land.

You may obtain permission to busk in private locations, such as Shopping Centres, by contacting Centre Management.

To busk in The Entrance contact:

The Entrance Town Centre Management
Shop 3/96 The Entrance Rd, The Entrance NSW 2261
Phone: 02 4333 5377

So I rang that number thinking at least there might be a few square metres of land in Wyong Shire where busking was permitted.  They said, Oh Dear, we'll have to get council to change that, our Deed of Agreement states no buskers are allowed except in the Country Music Festival.  She took my number and promised to clarify the issue as she'd been having a lot of enquiries.

But all in all, busking in Wyong Shire on council land is not permitted.  What a bunch of wowsers.  No music in your lives, guys.  Have you all forgotten how to have fun?
