Ballina Shire Council is receiving $100,000 from the NSW Government towards the Ballina Shire Boat Ramp Cleaning Schedule and Brunswick St Boat Ramp Repairs to support important upgrades that will help keep local boating facilities safe, accessible and ready for the community.

This funding is part of a broader $2 million investment in forty maritime maintenance projects across NSW.

Grant recipients are decided by the NSW Maritime Executive Director and are assessed by an Assessment Panel that conducts a two-stage evaluation process.
