Voice of Byron

A BYRON Shire Council initiative aims to encourage Shire residents to become more involved with the Shire’s public halls.

Council is inviting expressions of interest for community membership for Halls and Venues Management Committees and Boards.

In an innovative approach, Council asks its people:

• Do you love where you live?
• Do you want to meet new people?
• Do you want to make things happen locally?
• Do you want to create new connections?

“If you answered yes, we would like to encourage you to join a Section 355 Management Committee or Board.”

Love Byron Halls is a new initiative to celebrate Byron Shire’s halls and venues as spaces for the people of the Shire to get together. We want you to help create a new history in your town or village. Research shows that community involvement in managing community facilities provides better outcomes for locals while engaging and including local people and providing an opportunity to participate in local community life.
