Funding

This $2.7m project has been made possible thanks to more than $1m from the NSW Government (Election Commitment fund), $500k from the Roads to Recovery program (Australian Government) and the remaining $1.2m from Byron Shire Council.

Footpath and bollard works are funded by a $400,000 joint investment from Crown Lands through the CRIF program and Byron Shire Council.

Future works

Footpath and bollard works are planned for February 2026. 

Other future works could include a range of staged improvements for the Brunswick Heads foreshore area such as (but not limited to):

  • Additional parking
  • Pedestrian crossings
  • Street and public space lighting
  • Toilet upgrades.

Further upgrades in the area will need to be developed in consultation with Crown Lands, Native Title owners and the community.

Grant funding or other sources of funding will need to be secured for any future works.
