Byron Shire Council · 3 June 2025

Parking controls installed in Brunswick Heads

New parking signage and linemarking were installed at multiple locations around Brunswick Heads, with changes made in response to resident and parking enforcement feedback.

Drivers and nearby residents may see changed parking limits and marked parking arrangements in town.

Byron Shire Council · 8 May 2025

Brunswick Heads pay parking revenue distribution set

Council resolved that net funds from Brunswick Heads pay parking be allocated to the Infrastructure Renewal Reserve - Brunswick Heads for works in Brunswick Heads village, with further review of revenue apportionment between Council and Crown before the 2025/26 budget is adopted.

This affects how parking income is reinvested locally and may shape future town works funding.

Byron Shire Council · 24 April 2025

Brunswick Heads laneway parking changes endorsed

Council approved No Parking restrictions in several Brunswick Heads laneways, subject to Local Traffic Committee approval, with resident exemptions and clear zones on waste collection days where required.

Will change parking access and traffic management for residents, visitors and waste collection in affected laneways.

Byron Shire Council · 10 April 2025

Emergency housing pods retention backed

Council resolved to advocate for retaining emergency housing pods at the Brunswick Pod Village on Torakina Street, Brunswick, retain 9 structures on Council land, seek another local site for pods on private land, and push for ongoing government funding.

Important for people needing temporary housing, especially flood-affected and displaced residents.

Unauthorised camping in Brunswick Heads deferred

The notice of motion on unauthorised camping in Brunswick Heads was left on the table rather than decided.
