II. Natural Geography

-Climate

Byron Bay’s mild, temperate climate makes it a perfect place to holiday year round. With sunny days and warm temperatures common for most of the year, Byron Bay is the ideal beach holiday destination.
Winter in Byron Bay (June-Aug)
The coldest month in Byron Bay is July where the average daily maximum is 19.4 ºC and the minimum 11.7 ºC. Surfers will need a wetsuit, but the water is clear and the skies are generally cloud free and perfect for warming yourself in the sun.
Spring in Byron Bay (Sep-Nov)
Spring in Byron Bay is a premium time to visit with smaller crowds and the days growing longer and warmer. This time of year also has the lowest average rainfall, making it a great pre-summer break. The water at this time is warming up and wetsuits begin to peel off.
Summer in Byron Bay (Dec-Feb)
Although this period has the hottest days (average around 27 ºC), the evenings often have showers, cooling the temperature down. The ocean is warm and perfect for days on the beach, but don’t forget your sunscreen and hat, as sunburn is common. The hottest time of year in Byron Bay is also the busiest, coinciding with school holidays.
Autumn in Byron Bay (Mar-May)
Average temperatures in Byron Bay stay warm (in the mid-20's) right up to the onset of Winter. The water is still warm though and the end of daylight saving also means warmer mornings. The crowds thin as school begins and the drop in heat makes it easier to stay longer on the beach.

-Geography

Background information on Byron Shire's climate and geography to give a context for the Master Plan.

Byron Shire is approximately 200 kilometres south of Brisbane and some 800 kilometres north of Sydney.

The Shire is renowned for its lush, green, rolling hills fringed by white sand beaches stretching virtually the length of the coastal fringe. Rainforest remnants dot the hinterland.

The two major rivers, the Brunswick and the Wilson, provide inland water systems for fishing and boating and add to the area's scenic attraction. The Brunswick River mouth is located at Brunswick Heads flowing west to Mullumbimby and Main Arm. Both the Wilson and Brunswick rivers flood in times of heavy rain, as do many of the minor streams and tributaries. Those areas most affected are Wilsons Creek with ten level creek crossings, and Main Arm with approximately 15 creek crossings. Upper Wilsons Creek, Upper Main Arm, Huonbrook and The Pocket can be isolated in times of flood.

National Park escarpment provides a dramatic backdrop to the northern part of the area. The southern half is characterised by rolling green hills with rich red volcanic soil, which is abundant with plant growth.

IV. Industrial Characteristics

When it comes to fashion capitals, most think of Paris, Milan or New York. And on the domestic scene, Sydney and Melbourne are regarded as our fashion hubs. But a new destination is making its mark on the fashion map. So, shake the sand out of your towels, reapply the sunscreen and hop over hot bitumen to usher in a new player, Byron Bay.

A transformation over the last 10 years or so from tie dyed, patchouli scented grommet to glamourous, photogenic beach babe is complete. Byron Bay has developed the cache that put such destinations as St Barths and St Tropez as idyllic lures for the glitterati. And where the cool kids play, fashion follows. We chatted to a couple of businesses that have their roots in the swaying tea trees of Byron Bay.

Founding CEO of Outland Denim, James Bartle’s family have been living in the Byron hinterland, Mt Tamborine to be precise, for five generations. “The rural and remote Mt Tamborine scene is certainly a world away from the hustle and bustle of the mainstream fashion world, and not where you expect a denim label to be based, but that’s also why we love being here. Denim is hardy, industrious and crosses from city to country settings, which is what Outland as a brand is all about,” Bartle stated.

This denim brand with a difference generates training and employment opportunities for Cambodian women vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Outland Denim received the royal seal of approval when the Duchess of Sussex chose to wear the brand on her 2018 Royal Tour of Australia. He added: “People are increasingly wanting to support brands who offer something local, sustainable, human made, and that are a part of a community they can be proud to belong to. These values are very much shared by the Byron Bay public and entrepreneurs. As like attracts like, I only see Byron and its fashion and creative industries growing in the future.”

Another brand that is proud to call Byron Bay home, is skin care company, Biologi. Dedicated to creating ethically sourced and manufactured products, Managing Director, Lucy Kuper told us that the location of her business grew organically. “We were already living in the Northern Rivers/Byron Hinterland area and a lot of the plant material we needed such as Finger Limes and Davidson Plum grow in this region. For our plant to bottle process it was much easier to keep it all in the one place! Byron Bay sort of came first but it’s the perfect place for us and our brand,” she stated.

The lure of Byron was felt by designer duo of Lara and Matt Fells, of stylish accessories label, St AGNI. “My husband Matt and I moved to Byron Bay in 2011. He is originally from the UK and I grew up in Tasmania. We visited Byron together and fell in love with the place. It wasn’t until 2014 that we began St AGNI, but we had always wanted to create something of our own and when the timing was right, we jumped,” Lara said.

Perhaps the last word on the subject should go to Simon Richardson, the Mayor of Byron Shire Council: “Byron has long been a hotbed for creatives. Whether there is something in the water, something in the air or simply something in the spirit of the community, designers of all persuasions have found inspiration here. Now, with more connected people visiting and seeking out designers, coupled with the ability to showcase works globally online, it is not only a great place to create, it is also a great place from where to centre a label, business and life.”

Key Projects:

4. Byron Bay

Byron Bay Additional Flow Path - A drainage upgrade project

The Additional Flow Path is a drainage upgrade project to better manage treated water from the Byron Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and stormwater flows across the Belongil Catchment area.

The proposed additional flow path will use public drainage land within the Byron Arts and Industry Estate. New pipeline will be required from the Byron STP to the Industrial Drain. Green areas will be created as part of the public drainage upgrade.

Location

The Additional Flow Path stretches over 2.3km in length. It extends from the Byron Bay Wetlands (at the STP), diagonally south-east across the Byron Industrial Estate (using the Industrial Drain corridor) and continues to Ewingsdale Road. It rejoins the Central Drain at the southern end of Belongil Creek.

Current stage

The project is currently in the detailed design and tender process for construction of the Additional Flow Path.

The Project Team are available to answer questions directly via the Q&A tab or email the Project Team.

Next steps

Outcome of the tender selection process.

Main Beach Shoreline Project

Widely regarded as one of Australia's 'iconic' coastal locations, Main Beach, Byron Bay is centrally located in the heart of Byron Bay’s coastal landscape. Main Beach provides the community with a place to connect with each other and the coastal environment.

Project overview

In August 2019, Council engaged Bluecoast Consulting Engineers to begin an extensive, multi-faceted investigation to determine the best solution to modify the structure.

The Main Beach Shoreline Project will investigate various modification options, with the intent to improve the current situation. The project is based on a ‘multiple lines of evidence’ approach which includes coastal modelling, geomorphological assessment of the shoreline, collection of wave data and expert observations. In addition, social, environmental and economic values will be explored and considered as part of the evidence based approach.

By using this approach, our aim is to find the best possible option for modification of the structure.

Infographic

The infographic provides an outline of the Main Beach coastal protection works.

At the interface between the sea and the land is a coastal protection structure (also known as the Jonson Street Protections Works or JSPW) that runs along the foreshore between the Main Beach Surf Lifesaving Club and the First Sun Holiday Park, and is next to Apex Park, playgrounds, the Memorial Pool and the beach car park.

The coastal protection structure comprises a main groyne (located next to the car park) and two smaller groynes to the north (near First Sun Holiday Park) and south (near Apex Park). The majority of the structure is made of rock of various sizes.

Future protection

Like many coastal areas of NSW, Main Beach is susceptible to coastal erosion. The structure is a public asset that provides a significant role in protecting the Byron Bay town centre from coastal erosion and underlying long-term recession (movement of shoreline landward). However, the structure is degraded and not to a contemporary or conventional coastal engineering standard. It also doesn't provide suitable public amenity and aesthetics, public safety and access.

BYRON BAY SEWER UPGRADES

Overview

FB was awarded a series of contracts in the Byron Bay area to be delivered as a single project. Works involved installation of sewer infrastructure in tight corridors, with a heavy focus on community management and stakeholder engagement.

Works Undertaken (Azalea Street SRM)

500m OD250 PE rising main, cross connections to existing HDD creek crossings and existing SPS

Works Undertaken (Rising Main RM3008 D&C)

Detailed D&C of 1050m OD315 PE rising main

Directional drilling of 360m OD315 PE mains, including drilling through protected vegetation and alongside RMS controlled road corridors

Connections to existing pipelines and SPS

Works Undertaken (Mullumbimby Rising Main and SPS)

Upgrade of pumps, risers and electrical to existing pump station to meet future demand

Form up, reinforce and pour new valve chamber to allow for new pump station configuration

Directional drilling of 1040m OD225 PE rising main along RMS controlled road corridor and through protected vegetation

Highlights, Innovations and Key Risks

Management of community impact and interest in the project was key to the success of the project, given the proximity to private property, interruptions to services and impact on local traffic flow.

Use of directional drilling technologies to navigate the more congested areas of the works allowed for quicker and safer completion of the project, while minimising disturbance of the streetscape and protecting native flora along the alignment.

VI. History and Culture

Byron Bay is one of the most visited tourist towns on the New South Wales coast, with a bohemian feel enjoyed by backpackers, couples and families alike. Byron Bay history is interesting too, dating back to its discovery by Captain James Cook in 1770.

Captain Cook named the Cape Byron area after admired naval officer John Byron, grandfather of the famed British poet, Lord Byron, and a famous circumnavigator. However, indigenous Australians had occupied the land for many centuries before this, when it was known as 'Cavvanbah'.

EARLY INDUSTRIES

Europeans began to settle in Byron Bay as early as the 1880s. The first industry was based around timber, with much logging of the resident cedar trees, but the local economy soon centred on food industries, specifically fishing, whaling and dairy farming. The surrounding northern New South Wales countryside is one of the few parts of this dry continent that resembles the United Kingdom, with its conditions being especially suitable for farming and agriculture in general.

This port town was officially named Byron Bay in 1894, the same year that the town enjoyed its first railway connections. Sea travel had already reached the area roughly eight years earlier, when the first jetty was constructed. Byron Bay later became one of the world's biggest butter exporters after the Norco Co-operative was founded here in 1895.

BYRON BAY LIGHTHOUSE

The Cape Byron Lighthouse is probably the best-known visitor attraction in the town, giving a good glimpse into the early history of Byron Bay. Visitors can reach the lighthouse by completing a 20-minute walk from the car park at the beach. On arrival, they can marvel at this 1901 masterpiece and enjoy the breathtaking views across the Tasman Sea. It also marks the Eastern-most point of Australia.

The lighthouse was designed by one Charles Assinder Harding and completed over the course of a year, at a cost of over £20,000. Nowadays, the lighthouse is the most powerful in the country, whilst also providing a popular whale-watching spot. Many of its 500,000 annual visitors also take part in guided tours, where they can learn more about the lighthouse's history and visit the Flag Room, one of the structure's most distinctive features.

FROM 1930 TO 1960

The years between 1930 and 1960 will not be remembered as the happiest times in the history of Byron Bay. In 1930, the town's dairy industries began to move into the meat trade, leading to a rather unpleasant stench often hanging over the town. Whaling also continued unabated during the 1950s and early 1960s, before finally ending in 1963.

THE TOURIST TOWN OF TODAY

The end of whaling in Byron Bay also coincided with the birth of the tourist industry, when long-board surfers began to flock here, making use of the superb and rather plentiful natural breaks.

The town quickly gained a reputation as the place to be among the 'hippy' community, leading to the establishment of the thriving tourist town that is so well known today. Although its 'alternative' roots are still strongly evident, nowadays Byron Bay welcomes all kinds of guests.

Arts & culture are always abound in Byron Bay. Whether it is a new art exhibition, a film festival a comedy show or a dance performance, you will be surprised there is always something happening in our town.

Taste of Byron in October - Lots of local food to sample

If you want to be part of the Byron Blues make sure you book your tickets and your accommodation well in advance – if you get in early PLANULA offers Blues Fest & Accommodation packages.

The same rule applies for our mid winter music festival Splendour in the Grass – an awesome event over 3 days where the music never stops …
