Approval was given by elected members during the April meeting of the Ballina Municipal District for The Meadows, which comprises five 2-bed bungalows, one 5-bed bungalow and six 3-bed two storey houses. This project will now go to tender and construction is expected to be completed within 18 to 24 months.
