Question

MY FRIENDS AND I ARE 14 AND WE ARE DOING A PROJECT ON BUSKING HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET A PERMIT TO BUSK ON THE STREETS OF MELBOURNE AND CAN YOU BUSK EVERY WHERE OR IS THERE SERTIEN PLPACES YOU HAVE TO BUSK

Answer 1

Almost immediately if you apply to the town hall. Unfortunately NO TALENT is required, and it shows in some of the rubbish we are forced to listen to! I would very much doubt you would be given a permit as you are too young.

And if you do get to write your project, please use your spell check!!!!

Answer 2

For the CBD (City centre) it is a waiting period of about 3 months and then pitches have to be rotated after a couple of hours. You have to be a failry good act to get to play in top spots like Bourke Street mall. But the standard permit is issued at the Town hall with some ID same day and you can busk around the city fringes with one. The scene is a bit fierce with territories and especially up at the Victoria markets. Melbourne gives a good response to quality entertainment cos it is that kind of city and vibe. Some of the small cafe lanes around Flinders Lane are good places or out at Fitzroy in Brunswick Street. If you're young and not street wise just be a bit careful, especially in St.Kilda but enjoy yourselves.
