help us get a Shul
For the Byron Shire.
After years of gathering in rented spaces, we now have the opportunity to secure a permanent Shul: a home for prayer, learning, celebration, Shabbat and a mikvah for generations to come.
Bring our Shul home
Our lease ends 14 October. We have secured a contract of sale on 7 Coolamon Avenue, Mullumbimby — an extraordinary 8.5-acre home for a permanent Shul, learning centre and mikvah. Settlement is 18 October, and every gift takes us one step closer.
Dear Friends,
For years, Chabad of Byron Shire has been a home without walls: a community gathered in borrowed spaces, held together by warmth, tradition, and the extraordinary people of this region.
On 14 October, the lease on our current Shul ends.
And by G-d's providence, we have secured a contract of sale on 7 Coolamon Avenue, Mullumbimby. Settlement is scheduled for 18 October.
This is our opportunity. A permanent Shul on 8.5 acres in the heart of Mullumbimby: a place for our children, our Shabbat table, our weddings, our mikvah and our tears. I'm asking each of you, as friends of this community, to help us bring our own Shul to the Byron Shire.

Together we're more than halfway to bringing our Shul home.
7 Coolamon Avenue,
Mullumbimby NSW
Glen Murray Estate offers 8.5 acres of private, botanical grounds in the heart of Mullumbimby. A substantial five-bedroom residence, spacious living areas, a large workshed, creek frontage and more than 10,000m² of R5-zoned land create exceptional potential for our Shul and community.
The Shul today.
A community woven together: our children, our families, our Shabbat table. Our current Shul in Byron has served this community with grace, but the lease ends on 14 October. Without action, we lose our Shul.
The Shul, forever.
A permanent home with 8.5 acres of open gardens and room for prayer, learning and celebration. Its generous interiors, large workshed and central location offer space for the Shul, community programs, hospitality and future growth.
Inside the future Shul — the sanctuary, seating and Aron Kodesh.
A responsible path to ownership.
Working with Blackridge Finance, we've secured an indicative Full Doc lending pathway at 80% LVR through a mainstream lender. Community funds cover the deposit, stamp duty, and Shul upgrade. The balance is a manageable, serviceable loan.
