Byron Shire Council is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) from community members and stakeholders to join the new Special Entertainment Precinct (SEP) Working Group for Byron Bay.
"The SEP Working Group will play a key role in guiding and providing feedback on the trial of the Special Entertainment Precinct in Byron Bay," Byron Shire Mayor Sarah Ndiaye said.
"This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the implementation, and evaluation of a vibrant, safe, and culturally rich night-time precinct in Byron Bay."
We are seeking EOIs from:
• Up to four business owners currently running a business based within the SEP boundary (not a current member of Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce).
• Up to four residents living within or adjacent to the SEP boundary;
• Up to four creatives representing a Creative Industry such as music, art, public space activation, entertainment, and organisers.
"The Working Group will also include representatives from Council, staff, representatives from the Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce, Liquor Accord, NSW Police and NSW Health, Destination Byron, Music NSW and other creative agencies," she said.
Meetings start in March 2026, with members expected to commit to quarterly meetings until June 30, 2027.
Expressions of Interest close 31 January 2026. Apply now via: yoursay.byron.nsw.gov.au/SEP
