The stage is set for a crucial debate over the Brunswick Heads ‘Corso’ development in Byron Council this week, with staff recommending that the developer’s revised plans be approved.
The Corso development would see the town’s Bayside precinct become home to a two-storey, mixed-use development complete with a 38-room boarding house, four ground-level shops, shop-top apartments and 51 parking spaces.

It has drawn strong opposition from neighbours, who say it is a major overdevelopment of the site that will result in severe parking, traffic and other amenity impacts for those living nearby.

Byron’s councillors have voted unanimously to explore a series of measures to address what they are now calling the Shire’s ‘housing emergency’.

The measures, contained in a motion from Cr Michael Lyon, include using local caravan parks, motels, and hostels to provide crisis accommodation for women.
The Echo reported last week that the attempt to use local tourist accommodation for this purpose had been thwarted by the inability or unwillingness of the businesses to help out.
