Regulatory
Regulatory Working Group
North Byron Parklands (Parklands) Regulatory Working Group (RWG) has been operating for many years to review environmental management and community relations. Members include the NSW Police, Byron Shire Council, Tweed Shire Council, Roads and Maritime Services, Rural Fire Service, State Emergency Service, Office of Environment and Heritage and National Parks and Wildlife Service. A community representative from both Tweed and Byron local government areas also sits on the RWG and is appointed by their respective Councils through an expression of interest process.
The RWG also reviews any community concerns or complaints concerning environmental management and community relations. There are agreed Terms of Reference to guide members of the RWG. They can be found by clicking here.
The RWG generally meets before an event and the minutes of all RWG meetings are made available to the general public.

Social Impact Management Plan
As part of the Development Approval SSD 8169, North Byron Parklands must implement a Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP). North Byron Parklands' SIMP identifies:
management practices used to avoid, mitigate and minimise negative impacts during its medium and large events in discrete localities;
community engagement processes to further refine and adapt mitigation and management measures; and
commitments to secure and enhance the positive impacts of the development.
The SIMP has been updated with stakeholder feedback as required and resubmitted to the Department of Planning, Infrastructure and Environment (DPIE) for approval.
