NEW BALLINA SES BUILDING ON THE WAY Ballina Shire Council, in partnership with NSW SES, is preparing to start construction on a new, purpose-built SES Unit and Emergency Operations Centre in Ballina.
Designs have been finalised, and Council has completed the tender process, with construction scheduled to commence in September 2025. The current facility on the corner of Angels Beach Drive and Bangalow Road is no longer fit for purpose, prompting a much-needed upgrade to improve outdated infrastructure. The new building will deliver modern amenities and improved operational efficiency, supporting the Ballina SES Unit to continue its critical work responding to floods, storms and other emergencies. This project is jointly funded by the NSW Government and Ballina Shire Council. For project updates, visit ballina.nsw.gov.au/SESheadquarters
