Ballina Shire Council understands that for a community to thrive, we need two-way communication between Council and its residents.
To help with this ongoing consultation, Council has three community-based committees who represent each shire ward (A, B and C).
The purpose of these three committees, referred to as Ward Committees, is to give feedback to your Ward Councillors, and the entire Council, on a range of community matters and topics. Committee membership is for representatives from local not-for-profit community groups.
The committees meet five times a year in March, May, July, September, and November.
- A Ward – on the second Tuesday at 4.00pm
- B Ward – on the third Monday at 4.30pm
- C Ward – on the second Thursday at 5.00pm
The Ward Committees play an important role in Council's interaction with the community and Council is now seeking further expressions of interest for membership. All applications will be reported to Council for endorsement. Existing members of our Ward Committees do not need to re-apply.
Submissions close Monday, 10 February 2025. Further information, including a Ward boundary map, 2025 meeting schedule and the Ward Committee application form can be found at https://ballina.nsw.gov.au/council-committees.
