Check out the Bangalow Streetscape Materials Design Guide

Published on 01 December 2023

The new Bangalow Streetscape Materials Design Guide is on exhibition.

Everyone who cares for Bangalow is encouraged to have a look and make a submission.

Using the existing character and historic feel of the village, the guide looks at the materials and treatments that Council will use when doing future work.

It will also provide direction for developers, residents and businesses so when they need to do work in the street in front of their property, the preservation of the heritage character is kept into the future.

The guide will be referenced in the Byron Shire Development Control Plan.

“When the Design Guide is adopted, it will be used by Council as a reference point for replacing street furniture, paving, garden beds and even installing new rubbish bins,” Sharyn French, Manager Environmental and Economic Planning, said.

“The need for this guide was identified several years ago by the Bangalow Village Plan and has been promoted by community representatives on the Place Planning Collective,” she said.

The Bangalow Streetscape Materials Guide is on exhibition until Friday 19 January 2024.

People can make a submission and get more information about the guide on Council’s website.
