Sunrise Bistro set for December opening

With the first stage of construction of the Sun Bistro in Sunrise Beach well underway, local residents are looking forward to a December opening.

“I’m absolutely ecstatic that we are going to have a ‘local’ here” said Sunrise Beach resident Jon Hinfelaar. “There’s very little in the way of restaurants so we’re looking forward to having somewhere you can eat and drink. We really need something like this, Suffolk Park has one. It will mean less congestion on the roads and will help with a sense of community”.

The function centre that has operated at the North Byron Beach Resort site for the past 19 years is in the process of being relocated in four parts to the Sun Bistro site on Bayshore Drive.

“There were some initial mechanical issues with the moving gear but we are on our way now ” said Development Director Jeremy Holmes.

The Sun will be a family friendly local bistro/tavern servicing residents of Sunrise Beach and residents, workers and visitors of the Arts and Industry Estate.

The recycled building will be refurbished and extended over the next six months.

In a busy week for the North Byron Beach Resort team the Byron Shire Council unanimously approved the resort central facilities application, which includes the construction of a conference centre, restaurant, day spa, resort lobby and reception. Construction is expected to commence within two months, for a late 2015 opening.

“We sincerely thank Sunrise and Arts and Industry Estate residents for their support and their patience while we readied ourselves to commence construction on the Bistro” said Jeremy Holmes. “We will do our best to minimise disruption whilst construction is underway and keep our websites updated with the latest development information, as well as continue our local newsletters. We strongly encourage the community to sign up to our database, either on the website or by contacting us.

Record sale for Byron town

June 4, 2014Latest Newsbyron, byron bay, property, realestateCaroline

A residential record was set in Byron township last week and it wasn’t beachfront. Set on a 1,000sqm lot, the home in the old part of Byron Bay sold for the full asking price of $3.5 million.

The sale was made by Graham Dunn and Jeremy Bennett at Byron Bay Property Sales, who are responsible for four of the top six sales within the Byron township* itself since the beginning of 2012.

“The positive change in the market is the number of people moving here to live” said Graham Dunn. “Whereas eighteen months ago there were more investors buying, more recently and particularly in the past six months, people are moving here to live”.

Dunn cites improvements in flights as a factor, as well as the increased ability to work online from home. “A lot of business people are buying as they can now easily commute” he said. “The FIFO market is significant. And perhaps more interestingly, the baby boomers are starting to come. They’re sick of the rat race, they are into quality of life and they do their homework. One couple who came from Adelaide did a search of places which had great weather and were accessible. Byron won them”.

Ned Rockman recently purchased through Byron Bay Property Sales. “I’ve loved it up here for many years” he said. “I’m almost 45 and I don’t want to spend the second half of my life in Melbourne. I want to spend it here”.

Byron Bay Property Sales also hold Byron’s most impressive portfolio of luxury holiday rentals. They have Christmas booking up now, with some properties renting for $40,000 per week to families already taken.

“One thing about Byron Bay it’s got soul, there’s a sense of community” said Dunn.
