Byron Shire faces a critical shortage of industrial land. Our response is a strategic 6.5-hectare employment hub aligned with doughnut economics principles.
BILS Area 5 transforms degraded farmland into a working precinct, balancing economic security with ecological integrity, reducing the region's over-reliance on tourism by creating meaningful jobs for locals.
Innovative design features work/live accommodation, enabling entrepreneurs to eliminate commutes while building businesses.

“Reducing the region's over-reliance on tourism by creating meaningful jobs for locals.”
