Regarding 33 Lawson Street. Greedy, foolish Byron. Byron Shire Council should be ashamed. They have set an unfortunate precedent in consenting to a 38 per cent increase over the central Byron building height limit for the hotel development at 33 Lawson Street.
Future developments can ask for the same, and the courts will support them. Central Byron already looks like a mini Surfers Paradise.
Byron Shire residents should be ashamed. I remember the Club Med protests of the 1990s, when the community united to protect Byron from inappropriate development. Today, Byron residents are preoccupied with viruses, radio frequencies, carbon dioxide and koalas. You shouldn’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
