Subscriber only A motion to extend the number of people that could access South Ballina beach has been rejected by Ballina Shire Council. Secured vehicle access points using lock and key will be maintained for emergency services, commercial fishers, Jali Local Aboriginal Land Council and Bandjalang Aboriginal Corporation at Richmond Nature Reserve (NPWS), Patchs Beach (Ballina Shire Council) and Boundary Creek (Richmond Valley Council). The original motion, raised by councillor Keith Williams, was hoping to thank the NSW Minister for Crown Land, Melinda Pavey, for acting to reduce risk to beach users and limit ongoing environmental degradation to South Ballina Beach.
