If you didn't know already, The Bendigo (Hotel) in Collingwood has a 'stay of execution'. I got this a few weeks ago and have been meaning to share it.
A landslide of support, which was 10,000 signatures in 2 days!!, helped stall the interim order against the hotel by Yarra Council and they will work together to find a solution.
Here's the full thank you email which I received
"Hi
Thanks so much for signing our petition to save live music at the The Bendigo. We had a phenomenal response with over 10,000 signatures in 48 hours!
Your support played a pivotal role in stalling the Yarra Council's interim order in VCAT and working with the Bendigo to find a solution.
We are still in negotiations with Council, but things are looking good and all future gigs will be rocking on. We'll let you know when we have completed negotiations and what else we can all do to ensure all live music venues in Melbourne are better protected in the future.
Thanks again for making a stand for live music in Melbourne, it really made a difference!
Guy, Tiff & DC
P.S. Continue to send your band booking enquiries todc@bendigohotel.com.au"
