The Maitreya Festival is a gift to our town. It is full of business opportunities for the whole community and we should do all we can to keep it here and build on our hospitality. Any thing less would be negligent and an opportunity lost.
Please give Maitreya its permit. Every year I go to this event and always buy goods at the local independent supermarket. My friends and I love to support the local pub with a meal before and after the event. Lets us help the locals, as most are doing it tough.
I felt maitreya was all in all a good positive event to have occur in such a rural town both for the community, local businesses and for the event itself as it is host to such a beautiful landscape, it would be a shame to see it not continue in 2016.
It is vital for arts culture within the state of Victoria that festivals like Maitreya be allowed to go ahead. It is important from both a cultural and economic standpoint for the communities that hosts these electronic music festivals.
To our esteemed councillors, Money injected from outside our community right now is essential and your support would be welcomed. Time to look at how you can overcome your misgivings with innovation rather than accept them: defeated.
Such a shame to destroy Su h a special festival which successfully ran so many other years
Great festival... please support this event, great to bring money to rural area and awesome weekend for everyone to enjoy

This event is crucial for the economic survival of our town. I grew up in wooroonook and our family farm is still there....the lakes are our heritage and have never looked better, this is due to the money injection from the festival. Change your decision!!!!!!!!
