Join the Destination Byron Board — Be Part of Shaping Byron’s Visitor Economy Future
Destination Byron (DB) is inviting new applicants to join our volunteer Board — passionate, proactive “doers” who want to help guide Byron’s visitor economy towards a more vibrant, sustainable, and community-aligned future.
Who We Are
Destination Byron (DB) is a Local Tourism Association (LTA) — a not-for-profit, volunteer-led organisation formed to fill the gap normally occupied by a council-funded Local Tourism Organisation (LTO).
Our Vision is simple yet vital:
To maintain a forum to educate and instigate positive and sustainable change on all matters Byron visitor economy related.
Why Join
DB is entering an exciting phase of renewal and action. We're striving to prove that tourism can be done differently — regeneratively, collaboratively, and with community at its heart.
We’re looking for people who are:
✅ Responsive and reliable “doers”
✅ Skilled communicators and organisers
✅ Passionate about creating positive change in the Byron Shire
✅ Willing to contribute their professional skills — whether in admin, marketing, events, sustainability, hospitality, finance, or governance
Board Structure
Destination Byron is governed by a volunteer committee of:
4 Office Bearers (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary)
6 Committee Members (voting)
5 Ex-Officio Members (non-voting representatives from local chambers of commerce)
All roles are unpaid but deeply rewarding — offering the chance to influence the direction of Byron’s visitor economy, connect with industry peers, and contribute to meaningful local outcomes.
Commitment
6 x 2-hour board meetings per year (weekdays, 1–3pm)
1 x Annual General Meeting
Participation in our annual industry symposium and subcommittee projects
DB is supported by a part-time bookkeeper, with all other functions fulfilled by dedicated board volunteers.
