The rejuvenated River Street is starting to take shape with wider footpaths, underground services and new paving now being laid. Council is completing the project in four zones to help minimise disruption to pedestrians, motorists and businesses. Footpath works will be done outside business hours so customers can still access retailers and food premises. Works on the third zone, on the eastern side of River Street, started in late August. The final zone, on the western side of River Street will begin after the October school holidays. Please continue to support the River Street traders during the upgrade works. You may not be able to park right out the front, but there’s still plenty of parking in other locations within the town centre. The bus stop adjacent to the RSL has now been permanently moved to create extra parking within the upgrade area. Park the car and take a stroll, you may be surprised at the vast array of choice available. For more information visit ballina.nsw.gov.au/ riverstreetupgrade
