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

I am a contractor with the North Byron Parklands venue. I am also a contractor working with the Splendour in the Grass organisation for a 6 month period each year. These two organisations provide a large bulk of my annual family income. I strongly support the North Byron Parklands request for an extension of its trial period. The absence of these events at Parklands (and the prospect of them moving into another state) would be a disaster for my family's livelihood and for the Byron Shire. The events provide a regular income for myself and hundreds of other contractors and businesses in the Byron Shire.

The events at Parklands need to continue in a permanent way. The events need the security of permanence in order to do any long term planning.
They bring millions of dollars into the local community. They provide employment and training that otherwise does not exist in the area.
