Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex site preparation works to commence

Site preparation works will commence next week at the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex (BRSCC) on Ewingsdale Road, Byron Bay.

Byron Shire Council executive manager community infrastructure Phil Holloway said the initial site works will include preparing site access points, installation of an office, power and water.

"Once we have the office and staff in place next week, the trucks will start to arrive. Initial works will include extensive ground works with fill and turf being laid on the site."

Mr Holloway noted some motorists may experience short delays on Ewingsdale Road as trucks entered and left the site.

"Council is very aware of the additional pressure trucks entering and leaving the site may place on the already well-used Ewingsdale Road. In order to minimise any traffic delays, staffed traffic controllers will be in place to assist with truck movements."

It is expected that trucks will be entering the BRSCC site on a regular basis over the next 6 months, Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm. Some Saturday work between 7am and 1pm is also expected.

Byron Shire Council has recently approved over $3 million worth of tenders for the upcoming works:
