It is a valuable asset to the community and all who are employed directly and indirectly.

As a local resident for over 35 years I welcome events such as Falls Festival and Splendour in the Grass. They bring so much diversity, colour and lifel to the area. And dare it be said, many people prosper as a result! I'm proud that I live in a place where the majority of people I meet go to festivals and enjoy themselves. It's speaks of life and I'm definitely pro life. Thanks for giving me the space for sharing my opinion.

Let people live....we need it in the shire!!
it's good for the economy in Byron shire and beyond

I'd love to support Byron Bay and its annual festivals to help out locals and their business. Its also been an amazing experience to be part of these festivals and it has helped REPPIN raise awareness on mental health.

Music can bring so many wonderful people together and it would be upsetting to so many to see this discontinue.

I would like to put out my support for the Plan and Project Approval for the Cultural Events Site at North Byron Parklands. I think that by extending the trial period for outdoor events of up to 35,000 patrons by a further 20 months to August 2019 will allow the festival organisers to achieve a well thought after, policies & procedures that show consideration of our community, and our environment.
I have been a part of all the festivals in North Byron Parklands from day one, and every festival the improvement is very noticeable.
I believe that the benefits in having festivals at this scale are huge; Culturally, financially bringing people together, and supporting music.
I am all for it!!!

We support this extension and would like to see the festivals continue.

North Byron Parklands is an important facility that provides employment for hundreds of locals and brings in much needed income for local small business. Furthermore, it is an outlet for young people from all over the nation. The events at the Parkland raises the profile of the region with next to no adverse impact on the neighbours and environment.

Splendour and Falls are businesses that support and bring national and international social and financial interaction to a relatively small populated area.
I and my colleagues strongly approve of those festivals to continue with their input in this strategic position which balances the flow of tourists between gold coast and Byron bay.

Yes,

Great venue
Festivals are in a safe environment
Local jobs created
