Ballina Local Environmental Plan 1987
Planning Proposal BSCPP 21/001 – Wildlife Hospital 46 Lindendale Road, Wollongbar
Council has prepared a planning proposal requesting an amendment to Ballina Local Environmental Plan 1987 (Ballina LEP 1987), to facilitate the development of a wildlife hospital on land at Lindendale Road, Wollongbar, known as part Lot 237 DP755745. The land is currently zoned 7(c) Water Catchment Zone in Ballina LEP 1987 and a veterinary hospital is a prohibited use in the 7(c) Zone. A new clause is proposed to be added to the LEP to allow, with development consent, a veterinary hospital and an information and education facility on the land. The existing 7(c) zoning will not change. The proposal will be on exhibition from Wednesday 6 October to Wednesday 20 October 2021.
An amendment to the Ballina LEP 1987 was lodged with the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, and a Gateway determination has been issued which allows the planning proposal to progress to public exhibition.
Planners North have lodged a Development Application (DA 2021/185) on the behalf of the Northern Rivers Wildlife Hospital Limited (NRWH) for the construction of the veterinary hospital, being a place for diagnosing or surgically or medically treating animals, and an information and education facility.
The land to which this planning proposal relates is shown outlined in red in the diagram below. The site of the proposed wildlife hospital is approximately 2ha in area and has a frontage of approximately 200m to Lindendale Road, as shown on the site map below. This is part of the Wollongbar Primary Industries Institute site located at 1243 Bruxner Highway Wollongbar. The overall Primary Industries site has an area of 106.4ha with frontages to the Bruxner Highway and Lindendale Road.
Council has been authorized as the local plan-making authority and has been given delegation by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment to make or not make the local environmental plan (s3.36(2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979).

Ballina Shire Council is seeking feedback on the Draft Ballina Roads Contribution Plan Version 4.2.
Draft Version 4.2 incorporates the Barlows Road Link between West Ballina and Cumbalum, and associated adjustments in the contribution plan works schedule, contribution rates and other minor amendments.
Submissions close: Wednesday 30 June 2021
Enquiries: Patrick Knight, Civil Services Group, Ph 6686 1447
This notice is given in accordance with Clause 28 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000. The Draft Ballina Roads Contribution Plan Version 4.2 will be on exhibition from 2 June until 30 June 2021. It is proposed that this version will repeal and replace the current version being Ballina Shire Roads Contribution Plan Version 4.1.
Ballina Shire Council has proposed amendments to the Ballina Shire Roads Contribution Plan to incorporate the Barlows Road Link.
The Barlows Road Link would create a direct route between West Ballina and North Ballina, enabling motorists to bypass Kerr Street and Ballina town centre.
The link is estimated to cost $7.8 million, with 64.5% of the cost covered by development contributions and the remainder through Council’s Long Term Financial Plan from loan funds and internal reserves.
A net reduction in the cost of works to be constructed under the Draft Roads Contribution Plan would result in a corresponding decrease in developer contributions. On a typical subdivision lot the roads contribution would decrease from $12,704 to $12,432.
In the short term (2020s), the Barlows Road Link would provide major improvements to the road network. It would reduce trip times (in flood free periods) between West Ballina and North Ballina by transferring traffic from congested sections of Tamarind Drive, Bangalow Road and Kerr Street.
In the longer term (2036), the Barlows Road Link would reduce trip times between West Ballina and North Ballina while also taking some traffic from the future Western Arterial, possibly providing scope to defer this project by some years. It would also enable part of the works planned for Tamarind Drive between Flathead Lane and North Creek Road (Item 40 on the attached map) to be removed from the roads contribution plan works program, saving an estimated $8 million.
However, a negative impact could be increased traffic on Horizon Drive and River Street in West Ballina. Submissions received during the exhibition period of the Roads Contribution Plan will be reported to the July Council meeting. This report will also include configuration options to negate additional traffic on Horizon Drive and minimise the impact on residents.
Traffic consultants Cardno Qld were engaged by Council in 2021 to model the impacts of building the Barlows Road Link.
In 2015, they modelled the Ballina Shire road network with predicted 2036 traffic volumes. They used this model to predict the usage of the Barlows Road Link.
Two model scenarios were run:
The traffic modelling for these two scenarios is represented in the following two diagrams.
The predicted volumes (in vehicles per day – vpd) are shown in black text and predicted traffic volumes without the Barlows Road link are highlighted in bold red text.
This scenario involves the construction of Barlows Road, without additional network links (such as the Western Arterial and North Creek Bridge) being constructed. This scenario found that in the medium term:
This scenario involves the construction of Barlows Road, 2036 traffic volumes and all other planned Road Contributions Plan network links (such as the Western Arterial and North Creek Bridge) being constructed. This scenario found that in the long term:

In 2019 Council declared a state of Climate Emergency and in response has prepared a draft Climate Change Policy. The policy sets organisational emissions reduction targets, and a framework for progressing climate change adaptation and resilience strategies.
The targets are more ambitious than the NSW and Australian Governments and aim to achieve rapid emissions reduction by:

Council has prepared a draft shire-wide Plan of Management for Community Land (POM) which provides the management framework for public land (Council owned land and Crown land managed by Council) classified as Community Land under the Local Government Act 1993.
In 2018 the Crown Land Management Act 2016 replaced the Crown Lands Act 1989. The reform included the requirement for councils to have compliant plans of management in place by 30 June 2021 for dedicated or reserved Crown land (where Council is the land manager) and manage the land as if it were public land under the Local Government Act 1993.
The draft POM has been prepared on the basis that all Council managed community land (aside from land within the Ballina Coastal Reserve) will be managed under a single plan. The draft POM has also been prepared based on Crown lands advice regarding the categorisation of land and in accordance with the legislative requirements under the Local Government Act 1993 and the Crown Land Management Act 2016.
As part of the plan review and Crown land integration process, the existing Ballina Shire POM for Community Land 2015 will be replaced by the draft POM (upon its adoption).
The draft POM will be on public exhibition from Wednesday 24 February 2021 to Wednesday 7 April 2021.
The draft POM may be viewed on council’s website at ballina.nsw.gov.au/Documents-on-Exhibition. A feedback button is available to assist you in making submissions.
Hard copies of the draft POM can be accessed at:
If you wish to discuss the draft POM with Council staff, 30 minute appointments are available (either by phone or in-person at Council’s administration building) between 1pm – 4pm, Wednesday to Friday for the duration of the exhibition period. To make a booking, please telephone Fiona King in Council’s Strategic Planning Section at least 24 hours in advance on 1300 864 444.

Council has prepared a planning proposal to amend the Ballina Local Environmental Plan 2012 to facilitate a dwelling on certain land at Teven Road, Teven. The land to which this planning proposal applies involves twelve land parcels as shown outlined in red in Diagram One below. Further information regarding land parcel details, including lot and deposited plan numbers, are provided in the planning proposal.
The planning proposal seeks to reinstate a dwelling entitlement on Lot 3 Section 1 DP 758964, Teven Road, Teven and to transfer the dwelling entitlement to an aggregation of lots located on Teven Road under the same ownership by identifying these lots on the Dwelling Opportunity Reinstatement Map as a group of lots having one dwelling opportunity. The dwelling entitlement transfer will enable a more suitable development site to be available for the construction of a dwelling house.
The planning proposal (BSCPP 20/001) will be on public exhibition between Friday 5 February 2021 and Friday 19 February 2021 at:
Council has been authorised as the local plan-making authority and has been given delegation by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment to make or not make the local environmental plan (s3.36(2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979).
