Aboriginal services and programs

Byron Shire Council is committed to promoting mutual respect and harmony between Aboriginal and non-aboriginal people in the Shire.

This commitment has been demonstrated by Council's role in signing and facilitating historic agreements to progress Native Title claims around Byron Bay.
