Byron Short Term Rental Accommodation Planning Proposal

Byron Shire Council

Locale designed and implemented an independent engagement process for the exhibition of this controversial planning proposal.  Facing a housing crisis that has worsened over many years, Council sought to restrict the use of housing for short-term holiday letting. With a strong lobby and recognised industry impacts on one side and a frustrated community on the other, the project required careful and comprehensive engagement.
