Farmers market expansion
An expansion request for Ballina Farmers Market was approved at Commemoration Park, in spite of councillors expressing some concerns about parking. Following will be a DA, likely to request a doubling of the market size to sixty stalls. Ballina Deputy Mayor Sharon Cadwallader. Photo David Lowe.

A Wollongbar dwelling could soon become the heart of the Northern Rivers Wildlife Hospital.
The site has an approximate area of 2.123ha and it is located at 46 Lindendale Road, 450 metres to the southwest of the intersection of Lindendale Road with the Bruxner Highway.
Ballina Shire Council will discuss a proposal to amend the Ballina LEP 1987 to allow a veterinary hospital and an information and educational facility on Lindendale Road, Wollongbar.
The change is required because a wildlife hospital (veterinary hospital) is a use not specifically defined within Ballina LEP 1987 or the Environmental Planning and Assessment Model Provisions 1980.
The LEP amendment request seeks to permit the development as proposed by a development application together with the additional use of an information and education facility.
