This website presents a plan which demonstrates one way that Byron Bay Town Centre can be rehabilitated in harmony with nature to be self-sufficient, to become an environmentally aware "people place", while retaining the relaxed alternative lifestyle locals enjoy... and to thus enhance our spiritual wellbeing within an economically balanced system.
This approach to planning the future of Byron Bay puts humanity over economy - because we are only the caretakers of this sacred place.
The Master Plan for Byron Bay we present here has many valuable components : a LANDSCAPING PLAN that rehabilitates the wetlands, the beach and secures biodiversity, linking these with green connections throughout the town, giving a nature theme to the streetscape. The PERMACULTURE MARKET GARDENS compost fertilizer and supply food directly to the town with zero food miles. The TRAFFIC PLAN shows how cars & people can be separated within the town centre by providing alternative car parks and direct walkway links. ENERGY WATER & WASTE MANAGEMENT allows the town to generate its own electricity, to collect, treat & recirculate grey water, and to recycle waste to be profitable.
The Byron Master Plan encourages visitors to enjoy our unique local lifestyle - not dictate it.
The Byron Bay Master Plan maintains & extends nature throughout the town.
Continues Cavanbah as a meeting place for people and ideas.
Interacting in nature to live, work, play and communicate - people before buildings.
Self-sufficient in energy, water, waste and food.
Pedestrian priority within the town. People before buildings.
