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.

 3.1 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.

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.

to pedestrians or vehicular traffic and entrances to shops or

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
