WORK on a long-awaited $27 million highway service centre at Ballina is due to start within weeks.
It will be built at the rest area at the Teven Rd interchange – at the junction of the Bruxner and Pacific highways – and is expected to create about 200 jobs.
The development application was approved through the Joint Regional Planning Panel in December 2017. BP Australia will build and operate the 24-hour highway service centre on land owned by Roads and Maritime Services. Click here to read further.
