Ballina Bypass Alliance

The Ballina Bypass project upgrades 11.5 kilometres of dual carriageway road, extending from south of Ballina at the intersection of the Bruxner and Pacific Highways to Tintenbar at the intersection with Ross Lane. The project is expected to be completed and opened to the public in 2012.

Jackson Teece provided urban design and architectural services as a sub consultant to the Alliance which is comprised of Leighton Contractors, Coffeys, SMEC and Maunsell. We were involved in the concept and detailed design and documentation stages of the project and currently in the construction stage. Our involvement in this project includes the design of bridges, retaining structures and interchanges, inputs to the design development of the alignment and general integration with the existing cultural and landscape context and fulfilment of the objectives of the Alliance.

This also involved the design development of the Teven Interchange which is the gateway to Ballina from the Ballina Bypass. The design was undertaken in consultation with the local community which included the elders and artists of the local Aboriginal community.
