Ballina Shire Council is proposing changes to the ward boundaries for the upcoming local government elections to ensure equitable representation.
In accordance with the NSW Local Government Act, there should be no more than a 10% variance in the number of electors between each Council ward. However, based on the latest census figures, the number of electors in B Ward exceeds this limit compared to C Ward.
To rectify this variation, the Council proposes reallocating several properties from B Ward to either A or C Ward. This adjustment aims to ensure a balanced representation of electors across all wards.
The Ballina Shire is divided into three wards:
A Ward: Majority of Ballina township, South Ballina, and surrounding rural areas.
B Ward: East Ballina to Lennox Head and surrounding rural areas.
C Ward: Alstonville/Wollongbar/Wardell and surrounding rural areas.
If the proposed changes are implemented, voters will vote for candidates in either A or C Ward instead of B Ward in the next local government elections. Please note that the Mayor is popularly elected, allowing all electors in the local government area to participate in electing the Mayor.
Correspondence is being sent directly to electors known to be impacted by the proposed changes.

In October last year, Council resolved to rezone land at Burns Point Ferry Road, West Ballina. The land, located at the corner of River Street and Burns Point Ferry Road and extending along the western side of Burns Point Ferry Road, is known as Lot 1 DP 124173 and has an area of approximately 56 hectares.
The northern part of the land is currently zoned R2 Low Density Residential, with the southern part zoned RU2 Rural Landscape.
Council’s proposal is to rezone the land to C2 Environmental Conservation, other than a small area located in the north-east corner, which would stay as R2 Low Density residential.
The decision to change the site’s zoning follows a previous Development Application for a manufactured home estate on the land, which was refused by the NSW Land and Environment Court in late 2021. The Court found that residential development as proposed would have unacceptable impacts on the land’s high environmental values. This judgement has formed the basis of Council’s decision to rezone the site.

Ballina Shire Council resolved at its 24 November 2022 Meeting to place the following document on exhibition for public comment:

Following a review of existing Strategic Urban Growth Areas (SUGAs), Council has prepared a planning proposal to amend maps that form part of Ballina Local Environmental Plan 2012. SUGAs are areas not yet zoned for urban development that, at a broad strategic level, have potential to accommodate longer-term future urban growth. A SUGA designation does not seek to rezone land, nor does it provide certainty for any future rezoning. Rather, it signals that Council is of the view that further detailed investigation of land for urban potential may be appropriate at some future date. More importantly, the SUGA designation prevents the land from being developed for a use that might jeopardise its future urban potential, through the application of clause 7.8 of BLEP 2012. Council invites your feedback on the planning proposal. Please provide your feedback online at yoursayballina.com.au. Persons making a submission may need to disclose political donations/gifts provided to a Councillor or Council employee. Significant penalties apply for non-disclosure.

Council has prepared a planning proposal to amend the Ballina Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012 to transition deferred matter land (other than deferred land that has an existing environmental protection zone under the Ballina LEP 1987) into the Ballina LEP 2012 by applying appropriate zones, including conservation zones (C zones). The planning proposal also seeks to amend clause 41(2) of the Ballina LEP 1987 by reducing the maximum period for which land can be used for a temporary use from 52 days to 14 days, consistent with the temporary use provisions contained within the Ballina LEP 2012. All landowners whose properties are affected by a proposed zoning change are being contacted directly via letter. Affected landowners are invited to speak to Council officers about the proposed changes on their property and to provide feedback. Persons making a submission may need to disclose political donations/gifts provided to a Councillor or Council employee. Significant penalties apply for non-disclosure.

Council is updating the Plan of management for publicly owned community land throughout the Shire. Community land refers to land dedicated for use by the general public. The draft Plan of Management will govern the use of community land owned by Council as well as Crown Land which is managed by Council, with the exception of land within the Ballina Coastal Reserve, Hampton Park in Ballina and Williams reserve in Lennox Head. Separate Plans of Management will be developed for those reserves. The draft Community Land Plan of Management 2023 will replace the 2015 Plan and outline the basis for managing the various Council-owned and managed properties. As required by the Local Government Act 1993, the draft Plan categorises all community land as either:
Management measures are outlined in the draft Plan for each of these categories View documents and provide feedback at yoursayballina.com.au |
