This pro-developer vote to approve the breach of building height limits in Byron Bay was by Labor and Michael Lyon. Please do not vote for either in December.
Lyon has voted pro-developer on the current Council and will not stand up to developers. Like Jeanette Martin, who also voted for the developers after using the Green ticket to get elected, they have deserted the Greens.
Labor candidates will always toe the Labor Party line in preference to the Shire’s needs, and are obviously pro-developer, which usually means anti-environment.
Labor councillors Spooner and Hackett have regularly sided with Hunter on the right wing of Council against the environment and pro-development.
My advice, for the sake of the Shire’s environment, would be to follow the Green How to Vote.
