GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT
Louise O’Connell

“Thank you” is the theme of this year’s annual report; and as the
new General Manager I thank all those that support the Byron
Community Centre in delivering positive social outcomes in our
community. Our wonderful volunteers, our generous donors and
sponsors; and our hard working staff together deliver programs,
services and entertainment for the benefit of all. I also thank my
predecessor, Paul Spooner, for his decade of steering the Centre -
and positioning for continuing growth to meet future needs.
The Byron Community Centre offers something for everyone.
Byron Theatre has year round world class entertainment including
dance, movies, live music and plays.
Markets are an important part of the Centre’s offerings to the
community. Over the course of the year you can shop at the monthly markets, beachside markets and the
twilight market for that something special.
For those in need, the Byron Community Centre facilitates services such as showers and breakfasts for the
homeless, meals and links to support services.
Other community programs include our popular Seniors’ activities, New Year’s Eve family friendly activities
and school holiday programs.
The Byron Community Centre is the ‘beating heart’ of Byron; and I feel privileged to lead the Centre into its
exciting future.
Thank you to all who support the important work we do.

                                                                                                                2

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Helen Hamilton

It is an honour to bring to you the President’s Report for 2019.
As President I see the Byron Community Centre changing and evolving
in its efforts to meet the needs of our community after losing its long time
General Manager and President earlier this year. I acknowledge and
thank Paul Spooner and Jason Arthurton for their many years of service
to the Byron Community Centre - and the community of Byron Bay.
I warmly welcome our new General Manager, Louise O’Connell;
with change comes challenge and I thank Louise for accepting
the challenge. Louise brings with her a broad range of skills and
experience plus a passionate commitment to our community.
Louise is strongly supported by the Management Team of Tynae
Carmichael - Office & Finance, Tanja Greulich - Venue, Cherie
Bromley - Community Programs, and Kate Hardman - Markets. I acknowledge that in addition to her normal
role, Kate very ably led the management transition as Acting General Manager for three months.
I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to Byron Community Centre this year. I am grateful for
our dedicated members of staff and our pool of generous volunteers, our loyal supporters and donors. Everyone
has devoted a lot of time and should feel proud of their contribution to our vibrant community centre.
I acknowledge the Management Committee who have worked hard to deliver sound governance, financial
and HR accountability to the Byron Community Centre throughout the year. Thank you Peter Tanner, Paul
Aroney, Paul Jameson, Jani Collins and Tricia Shantz. I’d like to acknowledge the work of our outgoing
member David Sweet; and welcome new members Alison Saito, Bruce Clarke and Laura Peck.
As President I see that the Byron Community Centre is strong, resilient and innovative; these characteristics will
see us in good stead throughout the coming year as we work together to set strong foundations in place. There
are huge opportunities ahead for the Byron Community Centre - we are ready to meet them head on for the
good of our community.

SECRETARY’S REPORT
Peter Tanner

Well one could never say that things are dull at the Community Centre.
There have been major changes at the top, as mentioned in the
President’s Report but there’s always a silver lining and in this case
it allowed the Committee and the management team to work closer
together and get to know each other’s skills and talents. We are
blessed to have such great people running the Centre.
This has been a year of reflection and development.
Changes to the markets due to capital works in Railway Park and on
Butler Street have been a challenge, albeit one successfully managed
by Kate and her team.
We have continued to upgrade the facilities in the building and that
will continue through the next year, to ensure that our staff, volunteers
and patrons enjoy the best experience that we are able to provide.
We have also been focusing on systems development this year
and that will continue through next year. We are half-way through
developing a set of Policies and Procedures for Governance and
Management at the Committee level; our Treasurer with Tynae
Carmichael’s support has done astounding things in developing
our financial system; and we will be focusing on improving our HR
processes in the near future.
I welcome to Louise O’Connell; we are so happy she chose to join us
on this journey.

                                                                            David Sweet (outgoing)

TREASURER’S REPORT
Paul Aroney

TThe Byron Bay Community Centre has had another strong financial
year in 2019. Our performance was underpinned by financial
contributions from long term leases to community enterprises and
short-term room hire. It has been a busy year for the theatre and bar.
Results for markets were mixed with declining numbers of stall holders
for the monthly markets offset by growth in the beachside and artisan
markets. These contributions covered our costs of administration, the
maintenance of our wonderful heritage building in the heart of town,
enabled us to provide essential welfare services to those in need in
our community (including space and facilities to liberation larder,
supporting rough sleepers and wet weather projects) and to promote
and manage numerous community events.
Tabled at the 2019 Annual General Meeting are the audited
accounts for the year ended 30 June 2019. The audit was conducted by Tania Kirkland from WCA Chartered
Accountants Lismore and all necessary documentation was supplied. The results of the audit were positive and
a final unqualified audit certificate was issued.
As always significant change is afoot: Paul Spooner, our general manager of 10 years, moved on as did
our president. Looking forward, these changes at the top have provided an opportunity for reflection and
refocus. Our new GM, Louise O’Connell has a strong background in marketing and fundraising, as well as
administration, so we are looking to new sources of revenue as well as reviewing and fine-tuning our existing
operations.
The State Government has delayed the implementation of a New Crown Lands Act which will result in the
merger of the two organisations through which our primary activities are delivered (Byron Bay Community
Association and Byron Bay Community Reserve Trust). We expect, however, that this change will be finalised
during the coming financial year. And we are still working on extending the loan used to renovate our building
and provide working capital following the extension of our management of the centre to 2031. Repayment
over the longer period will ease our cash flow and enable us to provide more services where they are needed.
We hope to have this finalised by the end of the 2019 calendar year.
We are supported by a fabulous, enthusiastic and dedicated team of managers and staff and hundreds of
volunteers committed to the cultural and welfare needs of our community. I would particularly like to thank
Tynae Carmichael, our office and finance manager, for the willing enthusiasm and competence she brings to
the monthly mountain of reconciliation and reporting.
The financial results for the past year indicate the following:

                                                                   Income              Surplus/(Deficit)

The Byron Markets showcase the grass-roots of the Northern Rivers creative heart to all who visit here. Amidst
the dynamic and lively atmosphere at each market, we find new ideas, new products, and alternative ways of
being. As part of this, Byron Markets is committed to supporting local residents in the establishment of their business
enterprises and gives preference to local stallholders who make, bake, sew or grow what they sell.
The Byron Markets continue to be a crucial income stream for the Community Centre and local charities. They
support over 700 local businesses from across the Northern Rivers region and provide a melting pot for a
diverse range of artisans, importers and creators.
2019 has been a big year for the markets!
The markets team is still led by Markets Manager, Kate Hardman, with each market being operated by dedicated
managers and the nuts and bolts being looked after by a hard-working team behind them. The biggest endeavor
has been the temporary relocation of the Community Market to the beach foreshore while the Butler Street Bypass
construction gets underway. The market relocated smoothly in August and has been travelling well since then with
positive feedback from staff and stall holders.
Markets management continues to work with the Byron markets Advisory Committee, made up of stall holder
representatives from each of the markets, working on ways to improve and strengthen the markets. We thank our
volunteer stall holders for their valuable time in advising and being an active part of their markets community.

MARKET STAFF & VOLUNTEERS
Thank you to all of the dedicated markets team.
Graham Double, Community Market Manager, has put in a tremendous amount of work to achieve a
successful relocation for the Community Markets and continues to work tirelessly on improving all aspects.
Thanks to long time markets manager, Majida Steinfeld, the Beachside Market continues to run like a well-
oiled machine, being one of the most popular markets in Byron along our beautiful foreshore. Our Twilight
Market ended the season successfully making record income for that market since its inception. Victoria Spring
and Tao Van Wieringen will be restarting the Twilight Market in a newly updated Railway Park this season,
with a fresh canvas for the local creative hub. Behind the scenes, Carl Taylor and Annett Welss continue to
work on admin and media, bringing it all together seamlessly. On site, Greg Curry is the crew boss who keeps
it all running smoothly on the day with a team of dedicated staff staring at the crack of dawn.

The markets would also not be what they are without the valuable volunteers who take time to work with the
markets team on a diverse range of tasks. No amount of thanks can express the gratitude we feel for our
volunteers and the work they do to help us keep running – Thank You.

Thank you to all the people who have contributed to the programs and projects listed in the following pages.
We could not have delivered them without the support of volunteers; and special mention to staff members
Cherie Bromley (after working as Byron Community Centre Volunteer and Hub Coordinator, stepped up to the
new role of Community Programs Manager), Pippy Wardell, Elyssa Purdie, Annett Welss and David Steward
for their ongoing work in the Volunteer Hub, Homeless Projects, Social Impact Media and Seniors Activities.

                                                                                                         10
HOMELESSNESS PROJECTS
The Homeless Showers and Breakfast continue to grow in demand offering over 30     hot showers and
30 healthy meals a week.
The Severe Wet Weather Shelter Project has been run twice and it is ready to activate when severe weather
hits.
New initiatives and directions for the coming year include:
• Women Matter Too, a new women’s program aimed at reaching both
      those who are vulnerable and possibly at risk of homelessness and those
      who are homeless but not comfortable accessing mainstream homeless
      services.
• Collaboration with council, other health and community organisations
      to advocate for a drop-in centre for those experiencing homelessness in
      Byron Bay.

SENIORS ACTIVITIES
Pippy continues to coordinate the seniors’ activities each week and organised a very successful Seniors Expo
in February with a grant from the Department of Family & Community Services.
BeConnected Digital Skills tuition is now offered at the Byron Community Centre supported by a number
of successful small grants. ‘Elder Beats’ continue with an average weekly attendance of over 35 people,
followed by the very colourful morning tea. Many of the senior yogis have been coming to the class for 6
years now and the Bay Singers seniors’ choir is now followed by the ukulele class.

VOLUNTEER HUB
With the change in management structure Pippy Wardell gained
more responsibility in the running of the Volunteer Hub. Pippy took
on reporting duties with the funding body, rostering and is responsible
for the daily operations of the Hub. The Hub is now responsible for
referring volunteers to various Byron Community Centre managers
and staff.
• 242 volunteer applications were processed
• 210 interviews conducted
• with around 450 referrals
• to the 61 organisations registered with the Hub, and
• 13 events of various types; training, exhibitions, rewards and acknowledgement, network meetings; were
   run by the HUB for Byron Shire volunteers.

BYRON COMMUNITY CENTRE VOLUNTEER & WORK PLACEMENT PROGRAM
The Byron Community Centre continues to provide community members with purposeful and meaningful
volunteer roles.
387 volunteers are currently subscribed to receive volunteer e-news and updates.
Volunteers are sourced and referred through the operations of the Hub and work placements through tertiary
institutions, Work for the Dole program and Work Development program.
A new area of volunteerism at the Centre is the development of the Emergency Spontaneous Volunteer
Program. Cherie has been working with Tweed’s Ken Krane from the Office of Emergency Management to
include the Byron Community Centre in the Formal Arrangements for emergency recovery.

                                                                                                         14
MEDIA DEPARTMENT
Our Impact Update campaign continues to inform people about the organisation’s name, work, goals,
achievements and successes in our community.
Annett Welss heads up our media team, sharing the Impact Update campaign through press releases, the
Byron Community Centre website and on social media - Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Throughout
the year, we were able to grow our social media followers on our 3   channels to a combined
audience of 10,700.
Work on the website continues.

The Byron Theatre has once again showcased some of the most amazing and diverse theatre content in the
region. Our staff, volunteers and facilities are highly regarded and the Theatre has an ongoing reputation for
producing quality entertainment.
This year we hosted a record number of events and sold over seven thousand more tickets than the previous
year – that’s a lot of happy customers!
As well as hosting and producing the big name acts, the theatre sponsorship programming has been
consistent, worthwhile and extremely beneficial to the wider community.

                                                                                                             16
Highlight Acts for 2019: Menopause The Musical, Eireborne - The Rebirth of Irish Dance, Wendy Matthews,
Glenn Shorrock, Deb Conway, Arj Barker, Unlocking The Doors, David Helfgott, Calexico (USA) and Luka
Bloom. Some of the more popular local artists have included Matt Hill, Carl Cleaves, The Sidemen, BANG!
Theatre Company, Luka Lesson, Bright Lights Performance School, the Byron Writers Festival and many more.
Byron Loves Ballet! The amount of dance events continues to grow each year. We have three major ballet
companies that now make regular annual bookings: The Victorian State Ballet, The Melbourne City Ballet and
The Byron Ballet Company. In addition to the many ballet events, there has also been some incredible Spanish
flamenco performances, belly dancing, burlesque and Indian dance shows. The theatre is also the premier
performance space for the majority of local dance schools in the area with annual bookings continuing into
2021 already!
School holidays have never been more fun! The Theatre and Community Centre is the place to be for the
peak school holiday times, with some great theatre programming and activities for all the family. Some of the
highlights this year included: Johnny The Jester, Shorty The Clown, Bunny Racket, Trinket the Robot, Dinosaur
Time Machine and our regular Drum & Dance Workshops with local icon, Gabriel Otu.
Byron Theatre helps the Community. With over 180 sponsored events, some of the great annual
community events in 2019 included: The Vagina Conversations #4, NAIDOC week film night and Byron Peace
Concert. On a more regular basis, the theatre assists many local community groups and individuals, including
Seniors Drumming, Community Singers, Repercussion Drumming, Brazilian Batala Drumming, Volunteer Movie
screenings, Public Act Theatre and Byron Youth Theatre. We host Volunteers Week and Senior’s Week, as well
as numerous fundraising and charity events.

     The Staff and Volunteers are the Foundation of the Centre... The venue has some incredibly
     dedicated volunteers that have been with the venue department for years. Their time and energy help
     run the theatre and its events on a daily basis. We have over 200 volunteers in the venue department,
     including the theatre ushers, event assistants, raffle sellers, box office operators and bar volunteers. All
     these “front of house” roles are crucial to the smooth running of the theatre events.
     Thank you for all that you do!

The Variety and Versitility of the Meeting Rooms! The two upstairs meeting rooms are still heavily booked
by local businesses and repeat clients. The Cavanbah Room took 40% of the bookings this year, with The
Verandah Room on 36% and the Community Cabin at 16%. Early voting for the state election were back in the
Cavanbah Room for two weeks in March. A local yoga school have had three day bookings in the Cavanbah
Room this year for teacher training, which will continue into 2020. Long Island University(LIU) has also
returned to the Centre using the Verandah Room on a regular ongoing basis. Bay Osteo continue to use the
Cavanbah Room for three day tutorials throughout the year. The Community Cabin continues to be popular
with community groups and once again this year every weekday evening is booked. The Pass is popular for
small meetings and earlier this year Barefoot Law joined us offering pro-bono legal help for people using
Liberation Larder. Liberation Larder still supply meals on their regular weekdays from the Fletcher St kitchen to
people in need.
The Theatre Events Bar is the place to be! The bar has remained a popular and easy meeting place to
connect with friends and relax before a show. However, the Bar is soon to have a fabulous makeover so
we can expand our product range and better service to our theatre patrons during busy events. We have
developed new exciting local partnerships including Brookies Gin and the Lord Byron Distillery. Stone &
Wood remain our major partner with their generous annual sponsorship and are looking forward to helping
us decorate and fit out the new Bar.
To Wrap it Up... This year has seen the Byron Theatre and Community Centre bursting at the seams with
creative, inspiring and diverse entertainment. We’ve seen a steady growth in overall booking numbers and
exceeded our ticket sales from previous years. Bookings have started rolling in already for 2020, so watch this
space as we continue to support our local community and deliver the best performances to our audiences.
See you next year!

                                                                                                             20
