Should Splendour In The Grass Return To Byron Bay?

Organisers of Splendour In The Grass are once again calling for punter support in order to get the festival back to its Byron Bay home.

Organisers have been locked in an ongoing battle with the the Byron Shire Council over a push to permanently move Splendour to a new site in the North Byron Parklands. Splendour is now fighting the local council’s aim to limit large scale music events of to just two a year.

Splendour wants to move to the North Byron Parklands because…
– It’s really big (660 acres, compared with Woodford’s 400 acres and 50 acres at Belongil);
– It’s accessible (20 minutes north of Byron and 30 minutes south of the Gold Coast airport);
– There’s excellent access to/from the Pacific Highway which runs straight past the site;
– It will have fantastic camping locations on site;
– There are plenty of other accommodation options nearby.

For the last two years (2010, 2011) Splendour has been held at Woodfordia in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast Hinterland – which has been a fantastic venue.
