The Ballina Tourism Team has created a new Ballina Coast and Hinterland Map. The map includes detailed town maps for Ballina, Lennox, Alstonville/Wollongbar and Wardell and a regional map overview.
Meeting the massive demand from visitors and locals, the Ballina Tourism Team created a free map to distribute 40,000 copies across the region through the Ballina Visitor Information Centre, Ballina Byron Gateway Airport and accommodation providers.
Collaborating with 35 local businesses, the Ballina Coast and Hinterland Map will encourage visitors to explore the region and discover our destination’s unique experiences.
Printed maps important
Visitor Services Officer Teegan Bruncke says that printed maps are important even in a digital age. ‘Not everyone uses GPS or Google maps. Printed maps are one of the most requested items at the Visitor Centre from visitors and locals.’
If you want a map copy, pop into the Ballina Visitor Information Centre at 6 River Street, Ballina. Tourism and accommodation providers are also welcome to collect maps for their visitors.
