The Ballina Tourism Team says it’s thrilled to unveil the new Ballina Coast and Hinterland Visitor Guide, a comprehensive A4 publication showcasing the region’s unmissable experiences through imagery, editorials, and essential visitor information.

As the key marketing publication for the Ballina Tourism Team, the Visitor Guide serves as a gateway to the Ballina Coast and Hinterland, reaching a diverse audience—both people already exploring the region and potential visitors planning journeys.

Designed to inspire and inform, the new guide will be distributed through the extensive Visitor Information Centre Network and across key destinations.

In collaboration with over 45 local businesses, the Ballina Coast and Hinterland Guide is designed to encourage visitors to explore the region and discover the unique experiences that define the region. With 50,000 copies in print, the guide is already making its way across the Northern Rivers region, Southeast Queensland, New South Wales, and parts of Victoria.

Alanah Ward, Team Leader Visitor Services at Ballina Shire Council, expressed her enthusiasm, saying, ‘The Ballina Coast and Hinterland guide offers us a chance to share this incredible destination with people across the country. I’m very appreciative of the businesses who have supported this project and shared their stories with us.’

If you would like a copy of the guide, visit the Ballina Visitor Information Centre at 6 River Street, Ballina. Retail, tourism and accommodation businesses are also welcome to collect copies of the guide to provide their visitors.

The guide can be viewed online here.
