Byron CoLab on Arakwal Country
Social Futures is taking Expressions of Interest from potential tenants for Byron CoLab on Arakwal Country. In partnership with Byron Shire Council, we are transforming the old Byron Hospital site, and aim to develop a centre that connects people to their greatest potential and supports them to thrive. Byron Shire Council is redeveloping the site and expects to hand it over to Social Futures around August 2024.
Byron CoLab on Arakwal Country’s vision is to:
- increase availability of services that benefit the community (e.g. health, wellbeing, employment, education and cultural)
- establish a space for organisations to connect, collaborate and strengthen the social fabric of the Byron Shire
- improve social outcomes to increase resilience for the people of Byron Bay Shire.

Commercial precinct
