The Byron Foreshore is an iconic public space for residents and visitors. It offers a vibrant mix of activities, community clubs, business, and events.
However, there are ongoing and competing demands from:
- Recreational use
- Deteriorating assets such as rock walls, play space, furniture, dying vegetation
- Accessibility issues
- Environmental hazards.
The community has already told us through the masterplan process that they want a space that is more visually appealing and user friendly.
The plan aims to create a space that addresses these challenges, while retaining the local rituals and rhythms our of our place and celebrating its natural beauty.
The design proposes a space where everyone is safe and welcome, a canvas on which the community can tell its stories and show its creativity through future play and art elements.
We want to create space for people to linger, inspire the investment in infrastructure that Byron Bay requires, and provide for the future needs of the community and the environment.
Feedback from this consultation will help to inform what that looks like on the ground.
