They have seen an increased demand for services over the past 2 years.
Clearly this is a significant issue that needs to be addressed.
The fact this region is now heavily touristy is a great tragedy. Yes, the community connectivity is being lost; yes, money talks and money walks for those already rich with property assets; yes, there is an avoidable housing issue on the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. This signature is in support of the Greens Party’s declared amendments to the housing policies the Government initially put in place to try and bring about (unsuccessfully) equity and justice.
Location, location, location. Byron Bay and surrounds are arguably some of the most sort after geographies in the world to co-habitate. If there’s one, overarching lesson learnt from financial dealings in the last year, it’s that unrestrained economic capitalism that further concentrates wealth with a select echelon is unsustainable, immoral, and unethical. So, capitalism is unsound, but communism is equally unsound. Hmm… What can we do?
Hoping the community can reunite, once these holiday rental policies are amended.
All the best to those going into survival mode right now.
End Air BnB in Byron and give the council power to regulate against all the enclosed garages, “studios”, and dodgy extensions to create 6 and 7 bedroom homes that are then rented out to 10 adults!
