The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has supported the NSW government’s plan to extend hours, audience capacity and volume allowance for outdoor performances at the Opera House.
As we reported earlier, the state government will increase the maximum capacity for outdoor events from 5,000 to 6,000 people for low- and medium-scale events, and from 6,000 to 7,000 for major events, as part of changes to the Sydney Opera House.
The late-night sound levels for major events will be raised to match the maximum levels allowed earlier in the day, and event hours will be extended across all days of the week.
The Opera House previously copped a $15,000 fine after residents complained about the volume of a Florence + the Machine performance in 2015.
Albanese said he had seen the English band on the forecourt, along with American rockers the Pixies.
