$100k fine for Splendour after festival chaos

The Department of Planning of Environment said the $100,000 fine would be paid by the festival's parent company Billindugel Property and would be split between 10 primary and secondary schools within a 10-kilometre radius of the venue.The department said it decided the best outcome for the community would be for the company to financially contribute to improving local schools.

"We place strict conditions on events such as Splendour in the Grass for a reason, and organisers need to abide by them," a spokesperson said in a statement.The department will also require the festival to carry out its mandatory triannual audit one year early. The independent audit would help determine whether other conditions were breached at this year's event, which could result in further fines or action if necessary.Splendour in the Grass organisers defend weekend
