Sandhills Wetlands: Byron Bay’s new nature haven
Byron Bay’s long-awaited Sandhills Wetlands restoration has officially opened, marking the end of one of the Shire’s largest and most complex environmental projects.

Last week, the Council formally confirmed their support for the broad strategies contained within its new Housing Options Paper. If adopted, the residential housing strategy would see up to 6,695 new homes built across Byron Shire over the next 20 years.
