QUeensland Alcohol-related violence and Night Time Economy Monitoring (QUANTEM): Final report

In 2016, the Queensland government introduced the Tackling Alcohol-Fuelled Violence (TAFV) policy to reduce injuries, assaults and deaths due to excessive alcohol consumption in Safe Night Precincts (SNP) across Queensland. As a respected practitioner in the Australian music industry, I acted as an industry liaison. I connected the research team to the Australian Performing Rights Association (APRA) who shared historical data mapping the number of live music performances in QLD SNPs from the 2000s to 2018s reporting periods. Additionally, my reputation enabled informant interviews with venue proprietors situated in the focal SNP of the Fortitude Valley, adding qualitative data to the significant quantitative data set of this research.
