Indigenous protected areas and Indigenous land use agreements
There is one Indigenous Protected Area within the Region at Wattleridge, north-east of Guyra. It was declared in 2001 and is part of Australia’s National Reserve System (DEWHA 2008). Four Indigenous Land Use Agreements have been registered within the Region. Two Indigenous Land Use Agreements have been registered at Byron Bay, the first in 2001 with Arakwal People from northern NSW and the second in 2008 with the Bundjalung people within the Byron Shire Council region. 
The other Indigenous Land Use Agreements were registered with the Githabul Nation Aboriginal Corporation in the Kyogle–Bonalbo district and at Ti Tree Lake (Taylors Lake) south of Byron Bay in 2008 with the Bundjalung People of Byron Bay and Arakwal Aboriginal Corporation.
