Major Byron Bay housing project approved for 150 new residences as locals ‘spearhead the resistance’
Community efforts to stop a housing development on the western side of Byron Bay have been put to rest by the New South Wales Land and Environment Court.
Key points:

- The development will include habitat zones for koalas and other endangered species
