Byron Club Med site to be developed
The former Club Med site near Belongil Beach in northern NSW is to be developed into an eco-resort.
Owners Peggy and Brian Flannery have lodged an application with Byron Shire Council to revamp and extend the North Byron Beach Resort with an extra 75 cabins and, later, a 300-seat conference centre, pool, day spa, restaurant and bar, gym and multi-purpose studio.
The developers already have approval to construct the Sun Bistro on Bayshore Drive and have plans to develop an environmental centre onsite with possibly a light rail service to Byron Bay.
The project is expected to cost $101.2 million.
Ms Flannery said the resort would have the lowest possible environmental footprint. To woo local residents that opposed earlier attempts at a development on the site North Byron Beach Resort has plans on show and is inviting locals to make use of guided tours operating this week.
