Community Connect Issue 47

The original aged toilet block in Moon Street has been demolished and replaced with a sparkling modern facility.

The Moon Street facilities also lock and unlock automatically with electronic strike plates. They open at open 6.00am and lock at 8.00pm.

The new amenities include two ambulant toilets and one disability access toilet and include attractive timber features and external cladding.

A range of other public facilities across the shire received some much-needed TLC in the first quarter of 2022.

The Saunders Oval Sports Club received a full coat of exterior paint; timber deck repaired, cleaned and oiled; a new insulated Colourbond roof and gutter; upgraded disability access toilets; and repairs to the support brackets on the deck, a handrail, eaves, and timber bearers.

The Richmond River Sailing Club has new external cladding on the front of the building, repaired eaves, five new roller doors to replace the old timber ones, an upgraded electrical meter box, and improved stormwater drainage.

Works have also been carried out to the Fripp Oval AFL Storage Shed with the replacement of hardware, rekey to the council system, fresh paint, and minor electrical repairs.

Council's trades section are currently replacing the facilities at Commemoration Park, site of the Ballina Farmers Markets, with new facilities similar to those in Moon Street.

Ballina Shire Council received funding through the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure grant to carry out these works. Council has an ongoing asset renewal program which is outlined in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan 2021 - 2025.
