One of the showcase areas of Ballina is about to get a safety and aesthetic upgrade, with the Lighthouse Parade Pedestrian Precinct and Road Safety Project commencing soon. Ballina Council says improved pedestrian and cycling amenity is at the heart of the new safety project set to commence in late April 2021.
Mayor David Wright sees Lighthouse Parade as a gateway to the East Ballina recreational zone. ‘Lighthouse Parade is characterised by a residential neighbourhood, the Ballina Surf Club, the Marine Rescue facility, north wall, beach and open spaces,’ he said.
‘The recreational zone is used for swimming, surfing, fishing, walking, cycling, and access to community meeting and dining spaces.’
