Speakers included community representatives, Byron Shire Councillors plus a performance by local singer and mum, Renee Simone – who had the crowd dancing and singing along to ” We are Family”.

Byron Shire Councillors will meet this morning to agree on an offer price for Suffolk Park’s ‘village green’ – it will then be forwarded to the Department of Education.

If the offer is accepted it won’t be long before Lot 60 Beech Drive will truly be the people’s park.
