Planning in progress

Residential Strategy

The Residential Strategy will set a clear vision for the Byron Shire’s urban residential lands. It will set out how we work towards delivering a more sustainable and appropriate housing supply, a range of housing types and infrastructure to meet the diverse needs of our community over time.

Lot 22 Mullumbimby - Future housing

Council is proposing to rezone and reclassify part of Lot 22 Stuart Street Mullumbimby for future housing. Find out more.

Business and Industrial Lands Strategy

Byron Shire Council is developing a Business and Industrial Lands Strategy to identify possible locations for new industrial and commercial land to meet future demands.

Rural weddings and events planning controls

Byron Shire Council is developing planning controls to better manage weddings and events in our rural areas. Find out more.

Environmental zones (E Zones)

Council has commenced the process to apply environmental zones by amending Byron LEP 2014 in accordance with the State Government’s Northern Councils E Zone Review recommendations.

Proposed RU6 Transition Zone

Council considered introducing a new RU6 Transition Zone into Byron LEP 2014. The zone is intended to apply to land currently zoned 7(d) Scenic Escarpment (Byron LEP 1988) that does not meet State Government’s criteria for an environmental zoning.

Byron Bay Town Centre Planning Controls

Council is continuing the implementation of the Byron Bay Town Centre Masterplan. To achieve some of the Masterplan goals, amendments to our planning controls are necessary.

Short term rental accommodation

Short term rental accommodation is the leasing of residential properties for the purpose of temporary holiday accommodation for tourists and visitors. While holiday letting contributes to the local economy it can also result in significant negative impacts on residential amenity such as increased noise and illegal car parking.
