Byron Bay Hinterland

Byron Bay & Byron Shire

Originally home to the Bundjalung (Arakwal) people, Byron Shire has become a globally recognised destination, attracting 1.9 million visitors annually and driving a multi-million dollar tourism economy.

Today, the region encompasses stunning national parks, pristine beaches, and a vibrant arts and wellness scene. Local authorities are investing heavily in future infrastructure, including the planned 132km Rail Trail connecting Murwillumbah to Casino.

Byron Bay Country Club sits perfectly at the intersection of space and time — located on Foxs Lane right next to the future Rail Trail, in a moment when the region's tourism is soaring to new heights.
