Ballina Shire Council is developing a new Lennox Head Strategic Plan 2023-2043 which will cover Lennox Head and Skennars Head from Fig Tree Hill in the north to the southern edge of the Aureus Estate in the south.
Ross Park Upgrade The new-look Ross Park is taking shape with the installation of a timber fort, shade sails, picnic shelters, stepping poles and seating. Construction is underway on the boardwalk, concrete paths, paving and artwork. Residents and businesses should expect construction and machinery noise, which will follow EPA guidelines from 7am-6pm Monday to Friday and 8am-1pm Saturdays. Works have been delayed due to wet weather and completion is now expected at the end of June.
A Community Reference Group has been formed to help council shape this new strategic plan. Group members will brainstorm the implications of key planning choices for the area and map these issues with council staff.

Community engagement underway for Lennox Head Strategic Plan
A callout for members was conducted throughout May, with people living or working in Lennox Head or Skennars Head invited to register their interest to be a part of the reference group. In the coming months council staff will also be out and about on the streets of Lennox Head gathering input from locals, with some fun interactive activities to get you thinking about the future of the area over the next 20 years. A new online engagement platform will also be trialled for this project, allowing the community to use more interactive and userfriendly tools to provide feedback about the future of the Lennox Head area. If you see council staff at a ‘Listening Stall’ in Lennox Head please stop to have a chat, or visit ballina.nsw.gov.au/ LennoxHeadStrategicPlan for more information.
