Byron Shire is a local government area located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. The shire is located adjacent to the Tasman Sea about 50 kilometres (31 mi) south of the Queensland border. The shire, administered from the town of Mullumbimby, covers an area of 566.7 square kilometres (218.8 sq mi), and has existed as a local government entity since 1906. The shire was named for Cape Byron, itself named by Captain Cook in May 1770 in honour of Vice-Admiral John Byron.

Provision of a single Kayak storage Facility, in lieu of the current two privately owned unauthorised structures, that sits well in the vision of the Byron Foreshore plan of management for Reserve 82000

As per above, currently there are two unauthorised privately owned structures on the Foreshore operating Sea Kayak Adventures. Current Class 2 Sub-licences are up for renewal in November 2025. The project will centralise storage in one, publicly owned structure which can assist with reserve management, as well as be leased to community and/or commercial providers, with the revenue reinvested back into the maintenance and ongoing improvement of the reserve. The project will improve amenity by freeing up almost 100 sqm of green space for gathering, recreation and connection.

Finally, the project facilitates a shift away from commercialisation of public space in favour of prioritising prime open space for community and providing a seamless east-west foreshore experience, thereby increasing community enjoyment of the reserve.


Council intends to construct a Kayak storage facility, and existing structures will be removed at the private owner's cost.

Plans for the structure are attached -

The community identified the Byron foreshore as a priority ‘catalyst site’ through the Byron Bay Town Centre Masterplan, which was developed as a 20-year vision for Byron Bay. These priorities were developed over 18 months of consultation and adopted by Council as the guiding document for all infrastructure and service delivery.

o Following this, through June -July 2024 Council developed a concept for the Byron Bay foreshore, involving extensive community consultation through Councils’ “Your Say” portal. The project received over 800 submissions – 64% higher engagement than Council’s second-highest project in 2024, reflecting the community’s very strong interest in improving and protecting this site. Targeted design workshops were held with key stakeholders including Byron Bay Surf Club, Byron Bay Masterplan Group, local schools, Arakwal Aboriginal Corporation, Crown Lands and accessibility advisory groups. The broader community consultation involved “Pop Up” stalls at local markets and onsite at Apex Park. Further consultation was held with Council staff via a Project Control Group.

o The outcomes of the consultation expressed a need for improved community facilities that met best practice service provision with a particular focus on accessibility. As a result, a Foreshore Masterplan Landscape was completed and includes the recreational storage facility - https://www.byron.nsw.gov.au/Council/Report-Requests-Feedback/Your-Say/Have-your-say-on-the-future-of-Byron-Bay-foreshore Insert any relevant background information on the project/procurement requirement.
