Over the past several months Earthcore has been fighting for the right to hold their 3 day festival at Undera after the City of Greater Shepperton refused to issue a permit. According to Earthcore the refusal was solely due to GV health's CEO Greg Pullen objecting to the event being held at the same time of another event and the ramifications this would have on stretching emergency services at the local hospital to their limits.
In great news for the festival the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal has given the green light for Earthcore Global Carnival to be held in Undera, effectively overturning the council's decision.
This victory for Earthcore will see the event continue at its Undera home, which will have a massive economic flow-on effect for the Shepperton area estimated to be in the region of $2 million. Full event details to be released on the Earthcore site tomorrow.
