    As a resident of a street bordering on the park I would like to know why I was not notified of this plan for a music festival on this date. There are a number of issues with this application that concern me.

    1. For an expected audience of 1000 (how will they manage the gates if more show up with only 2 security personnel across the entire park?) they estimate 100L of beer and 100L of wine and 10L of spirits, which adds up to about 1 drink per attendee. If you have ever been to a music gig you would immediately see the problem with this.

    2. With shops and hotels so near, what steps are being taken to manage people bringing their own drink?

    3. They state the event is during the day, but also list the hours of operation 11AM to 10 PM, well into the night. How will they manage dispersal, in the dark, over several acres with two security personnel?

    4, With social media, if the event is any good, I would expect attendees to contact friends and connections to invite them. What measures have been put in place so that audience numbers are managed? Again, two people managing security will not control 20 people angry at the liquor running out and as a resident facing that park, I wouldn't want to have to defend my property against the organisers lack of crowd control.

    5. Where is the DA for this festival and have the police been notified?

    Can someone explain to me why this is not subject to a DA?
