North Byron Parklands - Cultural Events Site

I have been involved with North Byron Parklands as a contractor for several years now through the trial period. When any issues have arisen they have been managed carefully. The work that has been done to rehabilitate what was originally a degraded pasture for cows has been astonishing. The application shows a number of concessions have been made in relation to co-existing with the local community. The owners have been consultative, operate with integrity and support many local community groups.

North Byron Parklands is an invaluable asset in Northern NSW and for local arts and music. It employs a wide range of people locally for each event, people who would not have jobs, let alone employment at these kinds of creative events. Access to working at Parklands also allows people to gain highly specialised skills in a regional area which makes the venue very unique. I whole heartedly support this application for Parklands to become a permanent home for music, culture and arts in the Northern Rivers.

I support the application submitted by North Byron Parklands on the grounds of:
- positive environmental impact through revegetation programs
- provides employment
- supporting the creative industries
