The Bundjalung of Byron Bay Arakwal people and Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council played have played a critical role in enabling this project to be delivered for Byron Shire on this land. 

We worked with the Arakwal Corporation to learn more about the stories connected with this site and incorporated these into the design and functionality of the space. This also informed:

  • Yarning circle. 
  • Cultural educational signage, including artwork competed by local Arakwal artists.

The skate park and recreation hub in the Sandhills Estate project will:

  • Provide a high-quality skate and recreation space connecting the town centre, environmental zones and facilities such as the Byron Youth Service and the library.
  • Protect and enhance the cultural values of the traditional owners of the site.
  • Activate an area that is currently under-used.
  • Discourage anti-social behaviour.
