THE NEW reservoir at Coopers Shoot, a consultation event looking for ideas to solve problems accessing Byron Bay and an update on the Captain Cook Lookout gardens feature this week.
New Reservoir at Coopers Shoot
COOPERS SHOOT Reservoir construction – now in the final stages. And the Bangalow Reservoir is not too far off now either.
The new reservoirs have been built to ensure a sustainable water supply is available for residents and businesses within Byron Shire.

To ensure a sustainable water supply for residents and businesses within the Byron Shire, two new reservoirs are nearing completion (adjacent to existing reservoirs) in the following locations:
- 1.45 ML reservoir at Bangalow; and
- 10.00 ML reservoir at Coopers Shoot.
Byron Shire Council issued a Request for Tender for the detailed design and construction for both reservoirs early 2016. Council accepted the tender for the detailed design and construction of both reservoirs from Leeds Engineering and Construction Pty Ltd on 15 June 2016.
Captain Cook Gardens Looking Good
The Captain Cook Garden beds are looking good thanks to our Better Byron Crew in recent weeks.
The Crew has received lots of positive feedback for their work.
Byron Town Centre – Access & Movement Strategy Consultation
COUNCIL WANTS your ideas for improving walking, cycling, vehicular movement and parking in Byron Bay.
It was identified during the masterplanning process that traffic in Byron Bay Town Centre was the biggest issue impacting the town centre. One of the high priority actions identified in the masterplan is therefore the preparation of an Access and Movement Strategy.
Specialist traffic and movement consultants MRCagney have been engaged to consider the way people of all ages and abilities move around in Byron Bay and provide strategies for improving the street and pathway networks.
Your views and ideas for improving movement around Byron Bay are very important to us, so please come along to share them at a presentation workshop at the Byron Bay Community Centre, 69 Jonson St, Byron Bay on:
- Thursday 20 July from 5.30 to 7.30pm
- Saturday 22 July from 10am to 12pm
