The Arakwal people jointly manage the Cape Byron State Conservation Area with the National Parks and Wildlife Service as members of the Cape Byron Trust, together with other community members. This master plan provides the joint management of this park with a clear vision to plan for the future challenges and opportunities that tourism presents the Byron Bay community.

The Cape Byron Lightstation Precinct, as defined in this plan, is the area enclosed by fences on the high part of the Cape, and some small strips of land beyond the fences.

Cape Byron Headland Reserve is a state conservation area that covers 98.5 hectares, including the most easterly point of the Australian mainland. Its rugged headlands and sheltered rainforest gullies are situated on the far north coast about 2 kilometres from Byron Bay.

This fire management strategy incorporates Cape Byron State Conservation Area.
