Council and the Marvell Hall Committee invite the Byron Shire community to a special morning tea at Marvell Hall, Byron Bay, on Saturday (12 April) to celebrate the recent completion of a $756,000 renovation and transformation of this much-loved community space.

The hall upgrade was funded by Byron Shire Council with a generous contribution of $65,000 from Marvell Hall’s operations and includes new air-conditioning, a new semi-commercial kitchen, accessibility upgrades and improved soundproofing.

“The morning will kick off with a free taster session from Move It Dance Fitness at 10am, followed by a cuppa and cake at 10.30am, and a chance to have a look at the new and improved space,” Byron Shire Mayor Sarah Ndiaye said.

“The halls play such a vital role in bringing our community together, and these upgrades have created more functional and accessible spaces, making Marvell Hall an even better facility for all. It’s exciting to see how these changes will benefit everyone who uses the space,” she said.
