Lennox Village Vision PROJECT UPDATE

The rejuvenation of Lennox Head village will recommence in mid-2023, with a focus on the surrounding areas of the town centre.

Stage 5 works will see the intersection of Park Lane and Ballina Street upgraded. The road will be reconstructed with a concrete sub-base and the entire intersection paved. The works will also include renewal of stormwater and watermains.

Decorative paving will enhance the southern gateway and slow traffic, making it safer for pedestrians to cross Ballina Street.

These works require a full closure of the intersection. Further information will be provided to businesses and residents when a commencement date has been set.

Stage 6 works will involve a similar upgrade to the Ballina Street and Byron Street intersection, while Stage 7 involves a major upgrade of Lennox Park, including a new bus stop, amenities, shelters, footpaths and landscaping. The timing of these stages is to be determined.

What is a Shared Zone?

Lennox Head locals and visitors would have noticed the new Shared Zones at the centre of Ballina Street and on Rayner Lane, connecting cafes and restaurants with Ross Park.

A Shared Zone is a road or network of roads where the road space is shared safely by vehicles and pedestrians. There may be no road lines, kerb or gutter in a Shared Zone to show that pedestrians and vehicles are equal. Drivers must travel at a lower speed to better control their vehicles and safely avoid impact with other road users. Important things to know about a Shared Zone:

The maximum speed limit is always 10 km/h
