The considered proposal not only protects the environmental sanctity of the land but projects a resource that would continue to provide gainful employment, emboldens local businesses, provides economic benefit to the region and secondary economic benefits to the surrounding regions and supports the creative industries in NSW, at a time when public perception of the state government's support of these industries are at a low.

I support this proposal.

I sent another submission a week ago. Meanwhile we had a huge flood. I live in <REDACTED> 1.7 km from the beach corner.
Our road frontage faces the North end of Parklands. I attach pics with views that way and east and west of <REDACTED>.
The flood waters were about 2.5m deep. Could not see the flood warning 2 meter signs. Just saw I can't attach pics. Please email me <REDACTED> if you want pics to prove my point.
The whole of Parklands as far as I could see was under about 2.5 m of water.
<REDACTED> is one of the first roads in the area to get flooded.
This road could never help evacuate people, as suggested at times.
This flood shows that the whole site is absolutely unsuitable for having 30000 or 50000 people on site, camping, partying, drinking....
How would they ever be able to evacuate.
What about the garbage, sewage, tents, equipment? A huge environmental problem!
Lets not have it!

Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival create an enormous amount of job opportunities for the local community which would otherwise not be available.

As a South Golden Beach home owner and local, the presence of the festivals within our neighbourhood is incredibly important to us and really puts our suburb on the map.

I fully support the the Trial Period Extension Modification to allow North Byron Parklands to continue holding these world class events.

The Parklands is an amazing setting for this countries most important music festival. It is an beautiful property that so many enjoy respectfully every year.

I am supporting Splendour In The Grass and Falls in the hope you will extend the trail period for them to operate their amazing festival at North Byron Parklands. They have brought great tourism to our town and in turn provided work/jobs for many locals. Local business are rewarded with the extra tourism especially brought by Splendour in the winter months. To not have festivals operate at the Parklands would be a real loss to many people and as i support creative industry I am making my submission of support.

We have had the pleasure of working with the organisers of Splendour in the Grass and The Falls Festival for the past 3 years as one of their chosen food service providers.

We have both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the business opportunities that the events provide us as a locally based business.

We wholeheartedly support the events and can certainly identify their benefit to the local community and its economy.

Our business sources all of its food from independent butchers, grocers and local food distribution suppliers and our consumable, recyclable service-ware items are also bought locally from small businesses

The two, currently operating, events make a significant contribution to our annual income and represent our company's largest spend in the local community.

We not only hope that the events will continue at the beautiful and much improved Parkland site but would very much hope to see a greater number of diverse events take place - for the benefit of the whole community and the State.

I live in New Brighton, right next to the festival site. I have a bunch of friends who own small businesses in my area, Brunswick Heads, Mullum and Byron, who all benefit directly from the festivals being held here. As well as the direct economic benefit to these businesses / suppliers, and the extra employment opportunities for locals these events bring, the cultural benefit to the area and the opportunities offered to local artists are huge.
Access to these opportunities, and being able to enjoy these international artists in a regional area in Australia should be embraced as a great privilege, rather than something that should be shut down.

In support of the creative industry and the incredible individuals who work day in and day out to keep the love for Australian music alive!

I support the request for extension.

The festival provides a great boost for local jobs, the economy and is one of the marquee events held in Australia each year, supporting local music, artists as well as providing a great social event for all music and art lovers.

The NBP site and the events run on it, have been an invaluable addition to Northern NSW and Australian Music Scene in general.
The events that run on them, provide huge support for tourism, local employment and the creative industries in general.
Its an amazing site and the events truly help to capture the spirit of the region.
