Wallum urban development back in court

The company behind the Wallum housing development in Brunswick Heads is once again taking Byron Council to court, this time for allegedly holding up its planned earthworks at the site in an unlawful manner.

‘No-one ever came back but all reports indicate it’s lovely,’ and so begins this wickedly funny play about death and motherhood. Directed by the Drill’s accomplished artistic director, Liz Chance, Ghosting the Party tells the story of three generations of women who face questions of mortality and life with rigour, honesty and humour.

In Byron Bay, election day (March 28) is Harmony Day! There will be music, dancing and food from all corners of the globe: African, Spanish, Latin American, Indian, Middle Eastern and Indonesian.

It’s all happening at Main Beach, Byron Bay and will run from 12pm until 9pm.

In recent times there have been many important issues affecting our community and environment so for this reason Byron Harmony Day will for the first time provide an Open Mike in our most central location for our community to ‘Express Yourself’ and share your concerns.

For Byron Harnony Day 2015 the theme will be ‘Harmony Between All People and Harmony with the Earth’ based on the Balinese principle of Tri Hati Karana. In the culture of Bali the principle of Tri Hita Karana symbolizes the three aspects that bring about wellbeing. These harmonious relationships are spiritual harmony with the creator, harmony between all humanity and harmony with the environment and all living creatures.

For more info, speakers or to volunteer, phone Judy on 0405 463 663.
