North Byron Parklands - Cultural Events Site

I support the application for North Byron Parklands to become a permanent home for celebrating music and arts in northern NSW.

100% support!
Best organized festivals and location!
LOVE BYRON!

I have attended five music festivals at North Byron parklands and plan to do so many more times. I'm constantly impressed with the level of service and amenity provided, as well as the festival organisers and parkland operators commitment to looking after the parklands before, during and after events. Making it a permanent cultural events site would ensure patrons are continually treated to such excellent conditions, and that young people keep making the trip to that most beautiful part of New Soth Wales.

North Byron parklands is not only the home of Splendour in the grass and falls festival, it's home to everyones memories of these wonderful music & arts festivals. For me personally, splendour and falls are the only two things that make me take time off work every year. It is my holiday of choice given my love for live music and camping. If it were to be held at a different stomping ground, i would feel somewhat discouraged to attend it again because of my love for the north byron parklands. People from all over Australia and the rest of the planet know this as the 1 and only place for these festivals. Plus, it is in a remote enough location to keep all the madness contained within the bounds of the festival which means less worry from the townsfolk, less complaints and above all less paperwork for the NSW government. Win win!

Splendour and falls at north Byron parklands is a great location for the festival as it is in the middle of two cities to gain maximum attraction to the site.

Really good for local businesses, provides work experience for volunteers and low impact in terms of noise - we've never heard it!

Good work experience and brings people together.

Work experience and the events get people together and provide festive atmosphere.

`S good for the local community. It's a really fun place to have a festival.

Provides me with work and exposure to the beautiful Northern Rivers region. Local economy sees great benefits during events.

Supports the music industry and the local community.

The Falls Festival at this site gets everyone together, it's a good time and it's really good for the community.

It gives me a job and it's fun!

I enjoy the location and it's very nostalgic for me. The events have been here for so long and it has grea5 memories for me.

Love working with the volunteer team, it's well organised and well orientated. I also love the festival grounds and it's full of great vibes and positive energy from young and old!

It's good to see this and other events in the Shire, and it makes sense that the organisers be given certainty to really be able to put time and energy into planning forward and making the event as good as it can be - without having to unnecessarily pander to various interests groups who are focused on the minutiae of everybody else's lives and activities and looking to unnecessarily restrain lawful activities that make the Shire the diverse place that it is. Hopefully, the NIMBY's don't win on this one. Of course, we expect appropriate resources put into the various aspects of the festival to ensure residents are not unnecessarily impacted - eg security, waste management, traffic management, etc etc etc.

All things considered, if managed properly, it is a very good thing for the community, to share and facilitate other people enjoying the beautiful Byron Shire, and generate opportunities for locals to service them which provides work to enable them to continue to live here.

Great events at this site!

It supports the local economy

It provides me with work experience
