Riverfront pathway and parklands

The Richmond River foreshore in front of the Ballina Naval and Maritime Museum now offers a beautiful new space to relax and enjoy the river.

As part of the Regatta Avenue and Martin Street Upgrade, the riverfront pathway was extended along Regatta Avenue, connecting the Kerry Saxby Walkway with the Fawcett Park riverfront path. The parklands also received some beautification works to tie it all together.

It is great to see the community enjoying the parklands and we thank the public for the positive feedback we are receiving. This comment came from Carol:

"Thank you for the fantastic upgrade to the grass and footpath area adjacent to the pool and naval museum. Love the grass, path, mulching and most of all those massive sandstone blocks that ensure picnickers can relax without having to negotiate or sit beside vehicles."

The project has also seen additional car spaces created along Martin Street, kerb ramps relocated, and a pedestrian refuge constructed to improve safety.

The Regatta Avenue and Martin Street Upgrade is now complete and the following changed traffic conditions are in place:

Upgraded section of Regatta Avenue one-way only from western end (turning left from Martin Street)

Vehicles prohibited from public reserve along Regatta Avenue

Left turn only from Fawcett Street onto Martin Street.
