The Northern Rivers — Ballina, Byron Bay and Lennox Head — pairs some of the country's strongest lifestyle demand with a persistent shortage of quality coastal product. It's a market where well-considered boutique development is genuinely welcomed.
Developing in the Northern Rivers
Development across the region falls under councils including Ballina Shire and Byron Shire, each with its own controls and, in places, significant environmental and coastal overlays. Careful due diligence matters more here than almost anywhere — we verify every site's constraints in Scout™ before a plan is drawn.
Our Northern Rivers projects
Our regional work includes Seaswell and Aureus, both boutique duplex developments at Lennox Head.
What we offer in the Northern Rivers
From site sourcing and feasibility through to design, approvals, construction and sales, Studio 72 delivers the entire development — as a turnkey project you fund and own, or as a development partnership alongside us. Whichever suits, the same disciplined process and Scout™ oversight sit behind it.
