The Executive gave consideration to the prohibition on the balloon and sky lantern releases from Council land in view of the impact of the debris from such activity posing a fire risk and a danger to the environment and wildlife and has approved, subject to the replacement of the word ‘mass’ with ‘organised’:-

 

·         the organised balloon or sky lantern releases policy as set out at appendix one of the report;

·         the prohibition of sky lantern and organised balloon releases be incorporated into the terms and conditions for the use of Parks & Public Spaces, and Conferences and Events organised in Council buildings.
