BALLINA SHIRE
Population and Development Activity ANNUAL REPORT FY2020/21
This report provides a summary of key statistics relating to development activity in Ballina Shire including population growth, dwelling approvals, residential subdivision and value of building work. REGIONAL CONTEXT The Northern Rivers Region sustains a strong tourist industry, supported by natural attractions including golden sand beaches, rivers and estuaries, rainforests and waterfalls. Key industries in the region, in terms of gross regional product (GRP) include health care and social services, manufacturing, construction, retail, education and training, accommodation and food services, agriculture, forestry and fishing, and financial, professional and administrative support services. The key agricultural industries in the region include livestock (meat), milk, sugarcane, cut flowers & nursery stock, macadamia nuts, and fruit and vegetables. The region has been described as ‘a region of villages’ reflecting the settlement history of the area characterised by dispersed small villages and rural hamlets supported by towns and higher order centres. Major centres in the region include Murwillumbah, Lismore, Casino, Grafton and more recently, Ballina. The relationship between Ballina and Lismore is
particularly strong due to the proximity of the centres (approximately 30km apart), with Lismore providing higher order medical specialists and Base Hospital services to both centres and surrounding areas. Further, Byron Bay (approximately 30km from Ballina) provides entertainment and night-life opportunities for residents and visitors alike. The Brisbane/Gold Coast metropolis (including Tweed Heads at the QLD/NSW border) exerts an increasing influence on the region, particularly as road connections continue to improve. The Gold Coast, in particular, is a major retail and entertainment destination for residents within the Northern Rivers region. The natural beauty and ‘relaxed’ lifestyle available in Ballina Shire, along with the high quality air and road transport connections, make it a growing ‘lifestyle’ location, attracting skilled migrants who are able to live and work in the region while staying connected with the rest of the work, online and by commuting to larger centres.
