People visiting Ballina will soon have the opportunity to cycle or walk along some of the most beautiful coastline in the country. About 15 kilometres of environmentally friendly bike track will soon connect the towns of Ballina and Lennox Head. With the Lennox Head section was completed in 2003, the full track expected to be completed by 2007.
Running through some superb countryside, it has been specially designed to reduce environmental impact as it crosses an important coastal protection zone. The all weather path for cyclists and walkers is designed to protect the foreshore, plants and animals.
Providing residents and tourists with access to beaches and an opportunity to experience first hand environmentally sensitive areas, the track will also connect residential developments between Ballina and Lennox Heads. The total cost of the project is $5.6 million.
