Festival-goers to the Woodford Folk Festival can breathe a sigh of relief today, with confirmation that the popular music event will continue at its current location for the near future.
Land classification restrictions had prevented the festival organisers from gaining long-term authority over the site, but a bill tabled to State Parliament today will see the site reclassified as a conservation park.
Environment Minister Leanne Enoch says that the Department of Environment and Science would work with the local Jinibara People and Woodfordia Incorporated to assist them with the development of an Indigenous Land Use Agreement for the Folk Festival site
