Ballina Shire Council says it will auction six residential lots in Wollongbar, offering a rare opportunity for families and investors to secure land in the area.
The lots located on Avalon Avenue, will go to public auction on Wednesday 6 August 2025, and range in size from 600m² to 820m², with all blocks registered and ready for immediate construction.
‘These blocks offer the ideal foundation to build a home in a location that ticks all the boxes – lifestyle, location and community,’ said Paul Tsikleas, Manager Commercial Services at Ballina Shire Council.
‘This important project supports our community’s growing housing needs by unlocking well-located land for new homes, while also providing a revenue stream to sustain Council operations,’ said Mr Tsikleas.
Lifestyle, location
Ballina Shire Mayor Sharon Cadwallader says Wollongbar continues to grow in popularity thanks to its welcoming community, peaceful setting and convenient access to everyday essentials.
‘Wollongbar offers the best of both worlds – a relaxed village atmosphere with great local amenities and quick access to surrounding towns. It’s a wonderful place to raise a family, stay connected to the region, and enjoy a balanced lifestyle,’ said Mayor Cadwallader.
‘With a growing sense of community, scenic surrounds and everything families need close by, it’s no surprise Wollongbar is becoming a sought-after place to call home,’ she said.
The public auction will be held at the Lennox Head Cultural Centre on Wednesday, 6 August 2025. Registrations from 5pm, auction starts at 6pm.
