The council will hold a public meeting on Tuesday, June 17, at the Byron Bay Surf Club, commencing at 5pm, to discuss the status of the Lighthouse Road repairs and boardwalk reinstatement.
And on Saturday June 28, Byron United will organise a rally marking the third anniversary of the road’s closure.
