West Byron Project - News Feed

This next phase of the project is nearing completion. This phase had involved developing the details for the shared infrastructure for West Byron. This has been undertaken by BBWLA and its contractors. The Development Control Plan for West Byron is being undertaken by Byron Shire Council. Currently the Council and BBWLA are before the Land & Environment Court.
If the Development Application (DA) is accepted, the process will require submission of Construction Certificates before the subdivision construction can occur, manage the construction of various stages of the release area and register the subdivisions.

Public exhibition of the draft package of information and plans for the West Byron rezoning proposal closed on 31 January 2014.
