Ballina council debates South Ballina Beach 4WD access, again – The Echo

Photo David Lowe An attempt to enlarge the list of approved 4WD beach users allowed to access South Ballina Beach failed to get the numbers to progress at the last Ballina Shire Council meeting. The motion from Cr Keith Williams thanked the Minister for Crown Lands for closing the beach but asked that community consultation be undertaken to consider certain local beach users who have been excluded from 4WD access, such as members of fishing clubs, wildlife rescuers and the disabled. There were no deputations against the motion ( The Echo was contacted to say such requests were made, but not accepted for some reason), which left two supporters of the motion speaking instead.

Decision on motion to regulate 4WD access to beach

Premium Content 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.
