HAVE YOUR SAY ON THIS BALLINA BEACH’S NAME…

Residents are being given a say on council’s proposal to name a beach in East Ballina, ‘Gawandii Beach’.

The stretch of sand is located near Hill Street at the northern end of Missingham Bridge.

Gawandii – which means Dolphin – was chosen after consultation with the local aboriginal land council.

Submissions can be made on the Geographical Names Board’s website for the next 30 days.
