Foreword
The Byron Shire Information Directory is an essential guide to our area that assists the community,
particularly those who are new residents.
Byron Shire Council has recognised the importance of the Byron Community Centre project and is proud
to have been able to support its development.
Living and working in Byron Shire is enhanced by this unique and informative directory that provides the
contacts for the wide range of activities, groups, organisations and government agencies that operate in
the area.
The Byron Community Centre continues its long-standing role as a community connection point,
providing support and access to the many services available in our community. The updated Byron
Community Directory and the online initiative adds an improved service to the community provided by
the Byron Community Centre.
The Byron Shire Information Directory provides a much needed community service and many thanks go
to all that were involved as it has been a major task to bring together the comprehensive list.

Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre
The BBCC Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre was redeveloped in 2003 and since then has been
operating from the new building designed by Ian Mackay. The Centre is staffed by more than 50
volunteers who do the work at the Centre, ranging from the Management Committee, Reception,
Directory, fundraising, ushering, Emergency Relief, Homeless Breakfast etc.
The BBCC has had a history of being the central community-owned facility in town known variously as
the Mechanics Institute, the School of Arts, the Literary Institute, Community Centre and now the
Community and Cultural Centre.
The main activities of the organisation today are community development and cultural events. The
production of the Community Information Directory, the establishment of the Salvation Army Drop In,
Homeless Breakfast and Multicultural Drop In are examples of this work. In the past the BBCC has been
responsible for many community development initiatives and has auspiced and given support to many
community groups. These include Adult Community Education, After School Care, Bay AMI (mental
health accommodation), B.E.A.P. (refuge), Byron Youth Service, Housing Support Program, Vacation
Care, Easter Art Classic, Australia Indonesia Arts Alliance, ASCA etc.
The BBCC is mostly self funded, relying on income from its management of the Byron Community
Market, room rentals, tenancies, fundraising, grants, sponsorship, donations and other activities. There
is some ongoing funding from FaCSia for the Emergency Relief Program.
BBCC is often the first point of contact for local people needing assistance in times of crisis. This service
is provided by the BBCC and Salvation Army Drop In because it is the only place in town other than St
Vincent de Paul, that provides this service. A number of consultations and research projects have
identified the need for a generalist welfare worker for Byron Bay. Outreach services at the Centre
include Financial Counselling, Tax Advice and Migrant Services.

Introduction
The Byron Shire Information Directory (fifth edition) has been initiated and produced by the Byron
Community Centre. The Directory provides a comprehensive listing of community, cultural, educational,
government, health, sport and welfare organisations. Wherever services are non-existent within the
geographical boundaries of Byron Shire, the nearest available service is included.
The Directory is available online at www.byronbay.com.au
The Community Centre has been the Heart of Byron since it's inception in 1980, and is an iconic and
respected community hub. It is often the first port of call for many locals and visitors when they are
seeking directions or looking for information and or referral.
The Community Directory is a valuable community asset, and is used by many organisations, businesses
and individuals to obtain information regarding 101 different things. The printing of this edition is part
of the inspiration for the Centre Management, Staff and Volunteers to reclaim its vital role as the Shire's
meeting place.
This Directory was made possible by generous donations towards costs from Byron Shire Council and
Job Find and contributions for printing costs by our sponsors (please see sponsor page). The Community
Directory Coordinator and BBCC volunteers have undertaken all the information input and updates.
Many thanks to all sponsors, contributors and volunteers for making this project a great success,
especially Judy Shelley who has coordinated all aspects of of this project.

Aboriginal History
Large chopping tools have also been found within Palm Valley and
these are thought to have been left behind by individuals from the
midden site who had been searching for food and other raw materials.
The NSW North Coast - SE Queensland region has been inhabited by
Aboriginal people for at least 20,000 years. As the ice caps melted at
the end of the Pleistocene Age about 10,000 years ago, sea levels rose
and covered an 8 km wide strip of land off Cape Byron, leaving high
relief terrain exposed as a coastal promontory. Coastal campsites used
before the sea stabilised around 6,000 years ago, lie beneath the sea.
Most of the Aboriginal archaeological sites so far investigated on the
North Coast have dated to more recent times.
Of the major vegetation types now present across the Reserve, Palm
Valley rainforest offers the widest range of both potential Aboriginal
food plants and plant species known to have been used in the
manufacture of material items. Although there is little direct evidence
for the Aboriginal use of specific plant foods at Cape Byron, one early
botanist reported that the Goatsfoot Convolvulus once covered large
sections of the sand dune with its prostrate trailing stems and that its
roots were regularly cooked and eaten by the Aboriginals.
At the time of the first European settlement, around twenty different
dialects of the Bundjalung language were spoken in the NSW North
Coast - SE Queensland region, with the Minjungbal dialect spoken in
some of Byron Bay. In resource rich areas like Cape Byron, Aboriginal
land-owning clan groups with at least 100 members subsisted within
relatively small territories. The boundaries of these territories were
generally known and were clearly established in local mythology.
A wide variety of material items were used by the local Aboriginal
people, with most made from the wood or bark of various trees. They
included shields, spears, boomerangs, clubs, digging sticks, containers
and canoes, and these were cut and shaped using shell and stone tools.
String was rolled from bark, dilly bags were woven from rushes and
grasses and Bangalow Palm leaves were fashioned into water and
honey containers. Land animals such as pademelons and other small
wallabies were often captured in bark fibre nets. These hunting nets
were constructed in long sections 1.2 m wide and 2.4 km in length. In
the absence of the hook and line, fish were either speared in the
shallow using straight wooden spears with fire-hardened tips or caught
in finely meshed sĐŽŽƉŶĞƚƐŬŶŽǁŶĂƐ͞ƚŽǁ-ƌŽǁƐ͘͟
In contrast with what is known of other parts of Australia, local
Aboriginal groups enjoyed a comparatively settled lifestyle, building
large comfortable huts of tea tree bark laid over a frame of bent
saplings. The early European settlers reported finding groups of these
huts at the mouths of larger rivers along the NSW North Coast and on
the islands of Moreton Bay. During the course of everyday life
Aboriginal clan groups remained within their own well-defined
boundaries, moving short distances in response to the availability of
individual resources. Long-ranging movement between territories was
often undertaken for the purpose of attending social and ceremonial
gatherings.

was then an old man and died two or three years later. He had one son,
Harry, who succeeded to the kingship when he died. Harry Bray is
frequently mentioned in local early historical sources. During the late
19th century Harry is said to have lived in a big Aboriginal camp at
Tallow Creek, some 4 km south of Cape Byron. He was apparently not a
permanent resident at this camp however, as he has also been
reported as living further southwest at Midgen Flat during this time.
Harry Bray passed away in 1922. Harry and Clara Bray are buried
opposite Byron Bay Golf Club.

The area further east within Cape Byron Headland Reserve (the Palm
Valley/Wategos Beach locality) was called Currenba because of the
water channels (curraby means gully), while the Cape itself was known

spiritual inspiration and remains part of many Dreamtime stories. Cape
Byron is a place of importance as it is connected by way of several
myths with Julian Rocks. Apart from mythological status, the Cape was

ĐŝƌĐůĞ͟ŝƐďĞůŝĞǀĞĚƚŽŚĂǀĞŽŶĐĞ been located on the crest of the
headland, which was levelled in 1899 to make way for the construction
of the lighthouse.
The Arakwal people are the acknowledged custodians of the Byron Bay
area and retain a strong role and interest in the maintenance,
protection and management of Aboriginal cultural values. The historic
1997 agreement between the State Government and the custodians
guaranteed them a role in the management of the Cape Byron Reserve,
land for housing and land to construct a Cultural Centre (at Paterson
Street).
There are many Aboriginal archaeological sites along the coastline to
both the north and south of Cape Byron. Prior to the advent of
sandmining, middens containing the remains of Aboriginal meals of
shellfish, stone tools and human burials stretched for over 4 km north
from the Cape. The sign-posted midden at The Pass, first used around
1,000 years ago represents one of the few remaining examples of these
former campsites. Middens have also been found along the Tallow
Beach dunes south from the Cape. In addition, Bora-ceremonial
grounds, natural mythological sites and human burials have been
recorded along this stretch of the coastline.
In 2001 this agreement was extended. The present day Arakwal
National Park is a Native Title agreement overseen by ILEA (Indigenous
Land Use Agreement). The 183 ha park extends from Cosy Corner to
just north of the Crosby Caravan Park and includes Cibum Margil
swamp. It is managed jointly by Arakwal National Park Management
Committee and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. As Native Title
rights extend 3 km out to sea, Arakwal people are also involved in the
Marine Park.
Test excavation of The Pass midden revealed a range of activities
consistent with the archaeological expectations of a frequently used
base camp. The recovered materials show a heavy reliance on marine
fish and shellfish, along with less intensive use of forest resources.

In existence in NSW since 1998, Youth Justice Conferencing is
a unique and effective response to youth crime, diverting
young offenders from court and requiring them to take direct
responsibility for their actions. Depending on the offence,
Police and Courts will refer young persons to Juvenile Justice
to be dealt with by the community of people who were affected
by it. The young person, who must first admit to the offence
and agree to the conference, faces the victim, families and
police at a conference prepared and facilitated by a Conference
Convenor. An outcome plan is negotiated in which the young
person agrees to certain tasks and obligations aimed at fixing
the harm and preventing re-offending. When the young person
satisfactorily completes the outcome plan there is then no
record of conviction.
