A report on the front page of The Byron Shire Echo of 29 June 2010 announced to Ocean Shores that the recently formed Roundhouse Action Group (RAG) had succeeded in its attempt to have the Byron Shire Council defer a decision on a sale of the Roundhouse Site pending a business plan from RAG for a community facility on the site:
'A decision on the Roundhouse site at Ocean Shores emerged at Byron Shire Council’s meeting last Thursday. Residents of Ocean Shores put in one last effort to sway the council and at the eleventh hour were granted a six month reprieve to come up with a viable plan.'
The Council's resolution was passed 5-4. Not all those who spoke at the Council Public Access Session on the morning were supporters of RAG.
The people of the Byron Shire don’t owe Ocean Shores anything, Fast Buck$ (a former councillor) told the meeting.
No matter, there were smiles all round when Echo photographer Eve Jeffery assembled a group of supporters for a photoshoot on the steps up to the mound where the Roundhouse itself once stood.
