It's not just a music licence, you also need a liquor licence if you ever deliver alcohol to customers (Victoria I know needs one), and a licence from the health department (in my case through the shire) if you sell packaged chocolates or hampers. There is no end of expenses in running a florist business. There is even a license or cost in leaving a trolley out on the footpath. And to the lady who came in to my shop one day and said it was so quiet, it is for a reason. I don't wish to be the one caught out playing music, recorded or on the radio.
Slightly confused by the website and trying to find the correct category - but found it in the end. So apparently we need to pay $65 (or there about) a year in order for there to be music played in our workplace.
Does this include the Radio? And is music being played in the store constituted by the radio/cd being played in the workroom and for it to be audible, ever so slightly in the store?
I believe you can have in on in your workroom but it should not really be able to be herd from the shop front. (I never really worried to much about it.) Whilst not trying to break the law.
Interesting - I didn't know that either. You can find all the information on the website below. Radio is ok.

"There is an exception in the Copyright Act that allows you to play radio and television broadcasts in public without the need to obtain a public performance licence. There is no exception that applies when a protected sound recoding is “communicated to the public” via a streamed internet radio service. For this reason, you will need a public performance licence to publicly play streamed internet radio services which include protected sound recordings."
