Plans for a Special Entertainment Precinct (SEP) in Byron’s CBD are moving closer, with Byron Shire Council inviting the public to make comments around how it will be developed.
Council said in a media release, ‘With support from a $162,800 grant from the NSW government, early planning is underway to reimagine a section of the Byron Bay town centre as a Special Entertainment Precinct – not as a party zone, but as a curated cultural hub where locals and visitors can safely enjoy music, art, outdoor dining, and meaningful connection’.
‘We’re not trying to be the next late-night hotspot’, Mayor Sarah Ndiaye says.
‘We’re future-proofing Byron Bay in a way that aligns with our values – inclusive, creative, connected – and driven from the ground up’.
