Byron Bay could host a two-day, beachside music and arts festival in June this year, after an application to hold the event was lodged with Byron Council.
The ‘Byron Music Festival’ would transform Dening Park, beside Byron’s Main Beach, into an all-ages festival ground with 2,000 people enjoying live music, keynote speakers and market stalls.
The two day event, proposed by the owner of Byron Music, Nick Sergi, would focus on promoting local talent and aim to boost the local economy by attracting visitors to the region during the off season.
‘I ran the Byron Guitar Festival for three years until we were forced to stop by COVID-19, so this is a way of re-igniting the idea of a music festival right in the centre of town’, Mr Sergi said.

I refer to Ian Pickles’ letter, titled ‘Developers’ power’ (Letters, 10 February).
Generally, I must agree with most of what Ian wrote in his letter, but I want to point out two glaring errors.
Firstly, the NSW Government Standard Instrument does NOT require multi-dwelling housing be permissible in the R2 Low Density Residential Zone. Including multi-dwelling housing in the R2 zone as permissible continues to be a purely voluntary decision by Byron Council.
Secondly, one has only to read the old
Byron Development Control Plan (DCP) 2010 Chapter 1 Part C – Residential Development and compare it to the current Byron Local Environment Plan (LEP) 2014 and DCP 2014 to see that the planning provisions under Jan Barham and past Green councils were far less permissive of overdevelopment, and put more restrictions in place, which benefited the wider community and neighbours.
