Maitreya organisers admit their festival may never happen again

After months of turmoil, it looks like Victoria’s Maitreya Festival may never happen again.

"Dearest Maitreya fans it is with great sorrow that we have been unable to get approval from the Buloke Council for any more events at Lake Wooroonook, including the grand final weekend event.
We hope that now the CEO and Mayor have succumb to public pressure and finally stepped down that this may change in the near future, but for now there is no change. This, and the financial outcomes of this years event, all lead to the hard truth that we may never be able to present you Maitreya Festival again.

We hope that we can bring you more positive news in the future but for now we thank all who have supported us along the way.....no surrender!" - wrote Maitreya organisers in facebook.
