“…Fortitude Valley has a vibrant and dominant night-time economy with a concentration of entertainment venues. As such, Fortitude Valley experiences the issue of entertainment noise, with some residents having forced the closure of entertainment venues (Radbone 2010). To remedy to this problem, the Brisbane City Council (BCC) developed the 'Valley Music Harmony Plan' in 2004 to manage the impact of noise on residents and businesses, but also to promote the Valley as an incubator for original live music (BCC 2012).…”

Urban renewal has a social impact, and, here, we present the Fortitude Valley Renewal Plan (2007), in order to assess its process as a case study in relation to the concept of social sustainability. The objective is to develop recommendations to incorporate social sustainability in a proactive manner within the urban regeneration process. This research is based on the analysis of planning documents and semi-directed interviews with urban stakeholders involved in the regeneration process, particularly in the development of the Fortitude Valley Urban Vision statutory planning document. We analyse the case of Fortitude Valley's regeneration process in regards to three components: urban design, provision of affordable housing and the public engagement process. In conclusion, we explain how the tool of Sustainability Assessment (SA) could be used to improve strategic decision-making for the development of urban regeneration strategies for this case study.

Live music has been subject to particular economic and regulatory threats in recent decades. Comparative research of regimes for the planning and management of live music venues was conducted in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne over the period 2008-2010. Methods included archival and legislative reviews, field visits and interviews with key authorities, venue operators, live music campaigners and other actors. This paper gives particular attention to Brisbane's place-based approach, which replaced previous noise, planning and liquor laws to create legislated 'Entertainment Precincts'. Operators are granted certainty for investment, with increased protection from incompatible development and noise complaints if they are located in the designated area. In Fortitude Valley the night-time economy has prospered, preserving and supporting a number of live music venues and giving increased protection to a set of nightclub operators. This functional separation and concentration in Brisbane differs significantly to Melbourne, with its more liberal approach, and diffused venues. Brisbane is effectively placing the 'problems' in one key site, leaving the rest of the city with few live music or night-time entertainment options. The paper explores these outcomes and provides options for cities seeking to preserve live music, create accessibility to the night-time economy, but retain amenity for residents.
