Ballina 2035

Ballina is an emerging regional centre in the NSW Far North Coast region.  Major growth and change is expected over the next 20 years due to factors such as improved transport links to a rapidly growing South East Queensland and to Ballina's thriving regional airport. Council prepared the Ballina Major Regional Centre Strategy to guide this growth in a way that maximises opportunities, while preserving the things about Ballina that are important to the community. The focus for the strategy is the identification of key policy and planning related initiatives that can define and drive Ballina as a regional centre into the future.
