North Byron Parklands - Cultural Events Site

I don't want to have to travel far for events like falls

Central for the East coast of Australia - pulls people from everywhere to the area, Queensland, Sydney, etc.

It's an excellent spot to make friends and for music events, and I love having it so close to home!

Love having it close to home and easy to get to. It's a beautiful place and beautiful amphitheatre and I would be sad to see it leave this place.

It would great to know the event could stay here and have stability.

Gives rural people a chance to attend a festival.

NBP is a good location and would be good to be permanent so that smaller events can also be held here through the year.

Good work experience and great for the area

So hat the events can continue to be held at this site.

The events are great fun and supports local businesses b bringing in tourism

It support the jobs and growth campaign

This is well managed, well organised and there has been good investment in the area. It has been especially well managed in terms of the environmental platform. Society needs somewhere to drop out and relax and these e ents provide that, so it's good for mental health.

It provides work experience which is really handy for resume building for youth and supports tourism and local business. It's well managed and the site is perfect for catering to a lot of people in an environmentally friendly way.

It is in a good spot and close to several townships and there is great scenery
