BUSKERS RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES There are a good variety of pitches around the HARBOUR which are well suited to those performers who do not have restrictions on their performance such as space or height as do most of the circle shows. The only following restrictions that apply are: It must not interfere with pedestrian access, including when busking on or near mall or boardwalk access points. Entrances and exits to shops and buildings must be kept clear at all times. It must not be located near, or interfere with, an entertainment or activity approved/organised by Hillarys Markets or the Harbour. It must be a reasonable distance from other street entertainers so as not to distract from their performance. Any noise created should not exceed noise levels specified within the Noise Abatement Regulations. Respect to the general public and shop owners and Restaurant/Cafe tenants should be adhered to at all times. The expectation of Hillarys Markets is that buskers will at all times comply with the intent and direction of these guidelines and comply with reasonable requests of residents and/or businesses. In the event that the guidelines are breached or a nuisance is created the Market Operator or Resident Market Supervisor will ask that the activity cease, relocate or be modified in some way to remove the component considered unreasonable. The Harbour has a very strong family demographic and it is expected that buskers will be mindful of this at all times. Language during performances must always be in the light of knowing that children will be listening. We thank you for your understanding of these very important areas of considerations to be met. FURTHER 1 OBJECTIVES These objectives have been compiled with a view to creating a positive Busking and street performance culture. The expectation is that we can and will create a healthy working relationship with all Buskers & Performers to have a well-managed performance system in conjunction with a good working relationship with the Harbour and the Harbours business people. The objectives are as follows: 1.1 To encourage street entertainment of a high quality enhancing the vibrancy, vitality and ambience at Hillary’s Markets and the associated areas of the Harbour. 1.2 To provide a framework to ensure street entertainment is fostered in a well managed manner, while maintaining the well being, comfort and safety of the public and performers. 2 PRINCIPLES Hillary’s Markets recognises that: 2.1 Busking and street entertainment contribute to creating a unique creative and cultural identity. 2.2 Busking is a valid means for people to make a living. 2.3 Busking and street entertainment should not contribute to a lack of public safety or personal safety of performers. 2.4 Busking or street entertainment should not unduly disrupt or interfere with pedestrian and vehicular traffic. 3 RESTRICTION GUIDELINES IN DETAIL 3.1 A person under the age of 15 years should not perform in any part of a performance unless accompanied by an adult at all times. 3.2 Buskers and street entertainers must use locations, which do not unduly interfere with pedestrian traffic, public amenities or cause undue obstruction to traders or delivery vehicles. 3.3 Buskers may receive voluntary donations from the audience. 3.4 Amplification of sound is not encouraged. If, however, some amplification is necessary because of the nature of the event or instrument/s then the busker should be aware of noise sensitive areas/people/times and adjust amplification to suit. If in the opinion of our management, the noise level is too high then the busker is expected to comply with the directions of that officer at the time 3.5 The Harbour would expect the buskers to behave in an ethical and proper manner at all times. 4. Authorised officers may ask buskers to cease busking immediately if: 4.1 The busker/s are deemed to be causing a nuisance. 4.2 The busker/s does not keep their site safe and clean while working. 4.3 The busker/s is causing, or is contributing to, undue obstruction to pedestrians or vehicular traffic and entrances to shops or buildings. 4.3 The busker/s is interfering in any way with an OTHER approved entertainment or activity. 4,4 The busker/s using dangerous implements or materials as part of a performance MUST have prior permission from the Market Operators which can be validated on request. 4.5 The Market Operator reserves the right to prohibit busking or street entertainment in a designated area whilst public works are in progress. 4.6 A busker or street entertainer who is performing pavement or visual art: a) must use chalk unless working on paper, canvass or card, and b) cannot use spray paint at anytime c) must return the location, including the pavement surface, to its former condition, with the exception of a chalk pavement drawing, which will disappear with foot traffic flow and/or weather conditions in no more than 2-3 days We look forward to building a fantastic, vibrant busking street performance culture at the Harbour with YOU!
